Just out from Ipsos Polling:
Former President Donald Trump’s stronghold over the Republican party remains. His refusal to concede the 2020 election and calls of widespread fraud have raised doubts about the integrity of its results among his Republican base.
Consequently, 56% of Republicans believe the election was rigged or the result of illegal voting, and 53% think Donald Trump is the actual President, not Joe Biden. Only 30% of Republicans feel confident that absentee or mail-in ballots were accurately counted, compared to 86% of Democrats and 55% of independents.

In a new Ipsos poll, 54% of Republican respondents say the January 6 riot was “led by violent left-wing protesters trying to make Trump look bad.”
Only 30% disagreed. 16% said they didn’t know. https://t.co/j3qNCCVX0k
