Public Confidence In America’s Elections Systems Is Collapsing.
New data suggests confidence in U.S. elections in waiting in six critical battleground states, with likely voters only expressing some degree of confidence their states adequately protect against fraud. In Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, nearly a third of voters say they lack confidence in state election results. Meanwhile, just two-thirds of voters express some degree of confidence in the process.
In Wisconsin, just over half of likely voters say they have confidence in the results reported by state officials. Meanwhile, in Michigan, the number drops to just 46 percent. Those who say they’re very confident fall to just four in ten in the other states surveyed. Notably, voters’ confidence in their state election process is highly correlated with their partisan affiliation—with Democrats being more likely to say elections are accurate.
Among Kamala Harris’s supporters in the surveyed states, 71 percent are very confident in voting accuracy, compared to just 15 percent of former President Donald J. Trump’s supporters. A significant portion of Trump supporters display minimal faith in the system. In Georgia, 61 percent of pro-Trump respondents are at least somewhat confident in election accuracy, whereas the figures drop to 50 percent in Nevada and are even lower in Pennsylvania (47 percent), Arizona (46 percent), and Michigan (44 percent).
