A new poll by Monmouth University found Trump trailing Ron DeSantis, though a significant chunk of GOP voters are still in thrall of the former president. A majority of Republicans continue to believe that Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory was the result of “voter fraud,” according to a poll released Friday by Monmouth University. The university surveyed 563 Republican and Republican-leaning voters, asking them a range of questions about what they believed and what was acceptable to them in a candidate. Fifty-five percent of respondents said they believed Biden’s victory was the result of voter fraud, while 28% said he won “fair and square.” That margin is less extreme than it was in November 2020 when Monmouth first asked the question. Back then, 69% said “voter fraud” and just 18% said “fair and square.” According to the more recent survey, 55% of Republicans still think you can be a good Republican and acknowledge that Biden was legitimately elected. Supporting same-sex marriage is similarly not a deal-breaker for most Republicans, though supporting legal abortion is — only 38% said a pro-choice candidate could still be a good Republican.
