Reuters/Ipsos: Trump's Coattails (04/02/2021)

It's been almost three months since Trump left the White House, most Republicans still believe his election loss was the result of a rigged election or illegal voting

Topline Findings

Washington, DC, April 2, 2021 ? A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that most Americans agree that former President Donald Trump was partly to blame for the Jan. 6th riot at the Capitol, and 61% agree that he should not run for president again in 2024. However, support for Trump among his Republican base remains strong as 55% of Republicans believe his 2020 election loss resulted from illegal voting or election rigging. Paradoxically, 35% of Republicans agreed with both of the following theories: that the people who gathered at the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6th were peaceful, law-abiding Americans and that it was actually led by violent left-wing protestors trying to make Trump look bad. To that end, 81% of Republicans still view Trump favorably. Of the other Republican political figures asked about, Republicans were most familiar with Mitt Romney and Ted Cruz, yet favorability for both of these figures is not as high as for Donald Trump. Sixty-one percent view Ted Cruz favorably, and only 38% favor Mitt Romney.

Finally, when it comes to voting rights, 81% of Americans believe it is important for the government to make it easier to vote, but 74% also think it's important that new limits are set to protect elections from fraud.
