    a large majority, 77%, also says they are willing to accept the election results if their preferred candidate loses

    23% is a HUGE number of people. That’s unacceptably high.

    I’m sure there’s more breakdown in the article but it’s unreadable for me, ads keep loading and causing the page to jump around, and my phone keyboard keeps popping up.

    Most Americans, 56%, described the state of U.S. democracy as “weak,” including 70% of Republicans and more than four in 10 Democrats.

    That’s rich when Republicans are the ones dismantling our democratic institutions. But I guess they are also brainwashed into believing that the last presidential election was stolen and that there’s this widespread voter fraud which simply does not exist.
