Some are finally seeing the truth.

If you read closely (there's a link to a pdf + I saw another article from a different link), you'll see that the overwhelming "majority" are Democrats. Percentages and statistics are easily manipulated to produce misleading headlines.

Think about how an "average" is calculated. What is the average age of a group comprised of four 15-year olds and four 60-year olds? 37.5

Of what value is that number? 🤔

From what I've read, a still-scarily large number of Republicans believe the election was fraudulent.

You are correct both about the poll and about Republicans believing the election was stolen. I have given you multiple posts about how it was stolen and you have done little or nothing to refute the two main claims, that election law was illegally altered and that the news media lied and said that the Hunter Biden investigation was Russian disinformation. You seriously don't think those two things impacted the election in Biden's favor? Obviously they did. So, yes the election was stolen. But, you are right about everything else you posted here.

You sure are changing your tune from Biden votes being counted multiple times and software system flipping votes from trump to Biden. The issues of states implementing covid related changes have been litigated to the fullest extent and items have been certified. It’s decided! As for Hunter Biden; still no proof. If you’re claiming that should have changed the outcome in 2020, but that trumps paying porn stars and lying about it and the Access Hollywood tape shouldn’t have impacted the 2016 one, you’re delusional. What’s next, his rally sizes are proof?

Rather than the average we should look at the median or the mode. Those numbers are more useful generally.

Poll taking is an art. Some polls are pretty transparent that they’re trying to skew results.

From what I’ve seen you’re right. There are still millions out there who think the election was stolen.

There is unlimited potential for fraud absent in person voting with proper ID required. So people rightly question the outcomes of the last few elections.

“Potential” is not a cause of fraud nor evidence of it. Look into the states that have had mail-in voting (whether full or excuse only) and check their procedures to reduce and monitor for that potential and check their audit results.

When you are deciding on the value of an average (statistical mean) is to compare it the the median number. If they are close in value, then gaussian statistics may be valid. If they differ in value, then gaussian statistics should not apply

Go back and look. I have been saying the same exact thing since before the election actually happened.
