Reuters/Ipsos poll: Trump's election fraud claims spreading voter distrust; 63% of Republicans still believe 2020 was stolen

Claimant

Reuters/Ipsos (polling); President Trump (source of underlying claims)

Notes

The 63% figure has remained "largely unchanged in recent years" per the reporting, suggesting persistent baseline distrust. Election experts surveyed by Votebeat unanimously said voter fraud is unlikely to actually influence the outcome of a 2026 congressional race.

Coverage Gap

Right-leaning outlets do not prominently cover this framing; some characterize fraud concerns as legitimate rather than poll-driven distrust.
