More than one in four GOP voters say they believe that state-level reviews of the 2020 presidential election results will change the outcome, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds.
Twenty-seven percent of registered Republicans in the June 24-25 survey said the reviews will change who is president while 46 percent said the reviews will not and another 27 percent said they are unsure.
Nearly three-quarters of Democrats, 72 percent, and a plurality of independents said the reviews will not result in any changes at the White House.
Among voters overall, 56 percent said there will be no change in president following the state-level reviews while 19 percent said they believe the opposite and 25 percent are unsure.
Former President Trump has reportedly pushed allies to advance his unfounded claims about widespread fraud costing him the 2020 election and suggested he could be reinstated as soon as August, despite no constitutional or legal mechanism for him to return to office in 2021 after losing to President Biden.
The latest survey is consistent with previous Hill-HarrisX data that showed 30 percent of Republican voters say they believe Trump will “likely” be reinstated to office this year, despite no such mechanism.
The latest survey also found that a majority of registered Republican voters, 56 percent, believe Biden won the White House before of voter fraud while 25 percent said he won fairly and 19 percent were unsure.
The survey was taken days before Arizona’s Maricopa County announced plans to replace all of the voting machines that were turned over to the state Senate and other officials overseeing the audit of 2020 results.
The most recent Hill-HarrisX poll was conducted online among 940 registered voters. It has a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points.
