A new poll finds that Republican voters are more confident in the accuracy of U.S. elections now that Donald Trump has won. About 6 in 10 Republicans said they trust the 2024 vote count. That's a leap from only 2 in 10 who said in October they believed the count would be accurate. That low share followed years of Trump sowing doubt among his supporters over the accuracy of U.S. elections.

    Well, you could knock me over with a feather.

    I wonder what the corresponding drop in trust was from the Democrat side. Probably not an equal amount, but I bet it is measurable.

        FTA:

        One group’s confidence in the integrity of the election ticked down — Democrats. Their confidence in the national vote count declined from about 7 in 10 to about 6 in 10, although their certainty in the accuracy of state vote counts remained stable.

        And the key part in bold, from the subheading:

        The poll found a slight dip in Democratic confidence in the vote count. But no top Democrat has encouraged voters to distrust elections as Trump did after the 2020 election.
