Democrats still say Trump stole the 2016 election from Hillary.
The latest Rasmussen Report revealed that 72% of Democrats said that “Russia succeeded” in changing the outcome of the election that vaulted former President Donald Trump into the White House.
According to The Washington Examiner:
In findings that largely mirror surveys of Republican doubt of the 2020 election that Democrats mock, more than a majority of liberals told Rasmussen that they feel very strongly that Russia won 2016 for Trump.
“Fears of Russian interference in U.S. politics remain widespread, and Democratic voters overwhelmingly agree with Hillary Clinton that Russia is to blame for her defeat in 2016,” said the analysis of the poll shared with Secrets.
The report added that Democrats largely fear Russia will try again in the fall congressional midterm elections.
“A majority (53%) of Democrats believe it is very likely that Russia will try to interfere in the midterm elections, an opinion shared by 33% of Republicans and 27% of unaffiliated voters,” Rasmussen said.
“President Joe Biden’s strongest supporters are most certain that Russian interference changed the 2016 election, and to fear future interference,” the analysis said. “Among voters who strongly approve of Biden’s job performance as president, 86% believe it’s at least somewhat likely Russian interference changed the outcome of the 2016 presidential election and 75% think it is very likely that Russia will try to interfere in this year’s congressional midterm elections. By contrast, among voters who strongly disapprove of Biden’s performance, only 18% think the 2016 election was changed by Russian interference, and just 20% say Russian interference in this year’s midterms is very likely.”
Hillary Clinton has been named as a possible contender in 2024 and has recently seemingly taken steps to re-enter the political arena.
However, Donald Trump recently filed a lawsuit against Clinton and several other Democrats over their involvement in propagating false claims about Trump and Russia in connection with the 2016 presidential race.
