Poll: Most of the Elite Are Okay With Cheating to Win Elections

Pollster Scott Rasmussen described it as "the most terrifying poll result I've ever seen." It was a simple survey that he put into the field covering an issue that has been an ongoing subject of hot debate at least since 2020. He asked voters if they would rather have their candidate lose an election by playing fair or win by cheating. Overall, the good news was that "only" seven percent of respondents said that they would rather win by cheating. But when you dig into the cross tabs and look at the demographics, a frightening reality emerges. Those who counted themselves in the top one percent of earners (in other words, "the elite") demonstrated a much higher willingness to cheat rather than lose a race fair and square. That group of people comprise some of the largest political donors and they overwhelmingly vote Democratic. (Issues & Insights)
Earlier this year, pollster Scott Rasmussen asked voters a simple question: “Would you rather have your candidate win by cheating or lose by playing fair?”
The answers he got back were, as he put it in a Daily Signal podcast last week, “the most terrifying poll result I’ve ever seen.”
Among all Americans, just 7% said they would want their candidate to win by cheating. As Rasmussen put it, he’d rather see that number lower, but that’s not bad.
But more than a third of the elite 1% he surveyed would condone cheating.
