A new poll finds that swing-state voters trust Trump more than they do Biden on protecting democracy.
The Washington Post/Schar School poll released this week found that 38 percent said Trump would do more to protect democracy while only 29 percent said Biden would. 23 percent said neither would.
Per The Hill:
Roughly 60 percent of the group also said they are not satisfied at all with how democracy is working in the U.S.
Those labeled as “deciders” include respondents who voted in the 2016 or 2020 election, are under the age of 25, have been registered to vote since 2022, are undecided and may not vote or someone who changed the party they support between 2016 and 2020.
Among all swing state voters, 44 percent said they trust the presumptive GOP nominee more to protect democracy, while 33 percent said the incumbent. About 16 percent said they trusted neither, and 7 percent said they trusted both equally, per the poll.
Nearly three-quarters of “deciders” said they believe Trump would not accept the results of the election if he lost in November, while 33 percent said the same of Biden. Nearly half of the subgroup said Trump would try to be a dictator if he won, and just 15 percent said Biden would.
It’s just another example that all the momentum is on Trump’s side only a bit more than 4 months before the election.
