A new UNF poll released Wednesday found a large portion of likely voters in Florida don’t have much faith in the results of elections, especially the 2020 presidential race.
A UNF statewide poll conducted last week by the Public Opinion Research Lab asked a random sample of 622 registered, likely Florida voters a series of questions about who they planned to vote for in the upcoming midterms and their perceptions surrounding the prevalence of voter fraud.
When asked how often there is an election with enough fraudulent voting to affect the outcome, 34% said less than 1% of races, with 54% saying it happens more frequently. And 12% said that substantial voter fraud occurs in over half of all races. In a related question, respondents were asked who they think won the 2020 election between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, based on receiving the most votes cast by eligible voters in enough states to win. In response to that, 50% of people said Biden definitely won the election, and 19% said Trump definitely won.“Most of the research in this area suggests impactful voter fraud is rare, well under 1% of elections,” said Dr.
