A recent poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that a majority of Republicans now have confidence in the 2024 vote count, marking a significant shift from their skepticism following Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election. About 6 in 10 Republicans expressed confidence in the accuracy of the national vote count, up from just 2 in 10 in October. The poll also revealed increased confidence in state vote counts among Republicans and Americans overall, with Republicans showing a notable increase in trust in local election officials. In contrast, Democratic confidence in the national vote count slightly declined, but remained stable for state vote counts.
