Poll: 68% of Americans would accept midterm results even if their party loses
A Leger survey ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms finds 68% of Americans would accept the results even if their party lost, while Democrats lead Republicans 52% to 45% among decided voters.
Sixty-eight percent of Americans say they would accept the results of next week's midterm elections even if the party they support were defeated, according to a Leger survey released ahead of the Nov. 3 vote.
Willingness to accept a loss was reported across party lines: 76% of Republicans, 73% of Democrats and 63% of independents said they would accept the outcome.
Among decided voters, 52% said they intend to vote for the Democratic candidate, compared with 45% for the Republican candidate.
Confidence in the process was more divided. Forty-eight percent of Americans said they believe the midterms will be free and democratic, while 25% said they will not and 26% were unsure. Sixty percent of Democrats, 57% of Republicans and 38% of independents said the elections would be free and democratic.
The survey found 33% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's job performance, while 58% disapprove. Among Republicans, 77% approve, compared with 7% of Democrats and 24% of independents.
The online survey of 1,037 Americans aged 18 or older was conducted Oct. 23-25. Because it is a non-probability sample, no conventional margin of error applies; a probability sample of the same size would have a margin of error of no more than 3.09 percentage points.
