The overwhelming majority of Democrats say President-elect Joe Biden was fairly elected, while only a small margin of Republicans say so, according to a USA Today / Suffolk University poll released on Thursday.
Ninety-six percent of Democrats say Biden was fairly elected in the November presidential election, while only 20 percent of Republicans polled said the same.
Seventy-eight percent of Republicans feel that Biden was not legitimately elected president.
Public opinion news of Biden’s victory in the elections comes after the president and his allies have repeatedly questioned the validity of the 2020 presidential election, claiming that she was subject to widespread electoral fraud.

Seventy-one percent of Republican respondents said they would support him and 16% said they would consider him.
