Roughly half of voters who said they voted for Donald Trump last November, 49 percent, believe Trump won the popular vote, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll. That's compared to 40 percent who say Democrat Hillary Clinton won.

Overall, a majority of voters, 59 percent, believe Clinton won more votes than Trump, but 28 percent believe Trump won more votes.

Respondents were asked which presidential candidate won the national popular vote and the Electoral College after Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach — the vice chair of Trump’s controversial Presidential Advisory Commission on Electoral Integrity — said in a televised interview last week that "we may never know" whether Clinton won the popular vote.

The president himself asserted in late November that he won the popular and the electoral vote. "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," Trump tweeted.

1. Most likey they have no idea what the Electoral college is-nor do they care to learn.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. Electoral College is where electricians go to school!

[Funtatlaguy]

2. Half of his voters wouldn't know the popular vote

difference from the electoral college Even if you explained it to them 50 times.

[yuiyoshida]

20. This...

And if Trump Keeps repeating a LIE than they think it must be true...

[hopeforchange2008]

3. Willful ignorance.

trump gives them license to hate, demean, and to act crass and coarse. The last thing they would want to do is acknowledge his illegitimacy.

[Funtatlaguy]

11. This! A million times this.

And, yet, the Boy Scouts INVITED him to speak.
Maybe next, a group of Nuns will invite him to speak on celibacy and how to protect your private areas to be protected from potential "grabbers". Jeez Louise!
This country just won't admit what a COLOSSAL mistake that was made in November. COLOSSAL!

[forgotmylogin]

27. I think it's kind of how the Senate disregards the Dems.

45 said he did good when the vote was 58-4, because they do not acknowledge the "unperson" Democrats.

Among their social circles, he did with the popular vote.

[KRISITNA]

4. Perfect reason NOT to defund PBS

[BumRushDaShow]

5. As MLK once said

[Shell_Seas]

6. Half of Trump voters are stupid,

the other half is evil.

[Funtatlaguy]

12. Yes, the stupid ones go to his rallies and wear his shirts.

The evil ones send him money expecting tax cuts in return.

[VWolf]

7. I'm guessing half of Trump voters

also believe the moon landings were staged and the earth is flat & 6000 years old.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. This depresses me more than the MTP on healthcare vote. I believe

that there is no hope for the country. The USA I was born into after WWII is gone and will not return.

[flibbitygiblets]

9. Poll at my house: 100% think tRump is antichrist, though 100% of us are atheist

Splain that Lucy.

[SWBTATTReg]

17. I agree, tRUMP is the

new antichrist

[Gothmog]

10. Trump supporters are idiots and racists

[dhill926]

13. repeat a lie often enough....

scary shit....

[broadcaster90210]

14. Too stupid to vote or breed.

15. 77 EVs isn't a landslide Donny n/t

[JaneQPublic]

16. Guess which half also believed that...

> Hillary ran a child sex ring out of a DC pizza parlor
> Obama had a fake birth certificate to hide the fact he was a Kenyan Muslim
> ObamaCare is bad but the ACA is great
> Bill and Hillary murdered Vince Foster, Seth Richards, and countless political enemies
> Jade Helm was a prelude to martial law in Texas

Facts Schmacts!

[lark]

18. So, statistically speaking, 36% of the public are total know-nothing idiots.

Check!

[dchill]

19. They have to believe it. It's just one ingredient ...

in the slop bucket of offal stew that they have to consume daily to justify their stupidity, hatred and racism. It's what keeps them going!

[johnp3907]

23. Nice screen name.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. Seems to be quite a few DIers here recently. I recognize some of them by their screen names which

are variations on those they use on DI and their writing styles. 😏

[johnp3907]

26. What is DI?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

28. Discussionist. Be warned! Enter at your peril.

[johnp3907]

29. Oh!

I went there a few times when DUers posted links to some of the craziness. I'm not going back.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

30. Wise choice! 👍🏻

[Leith]

34. I Left

after the hacking. I've gone back there 2 or 3 times just to see if anything has changed. It hasn't. Why they still keep that damn board up and running is beyond belief. Maybe TPTB are keeping track of user origins.

Yes, they can do that without your knowledge and consent.

[Hortensis]

35. "Oh!" Right! :) DI's supposed to be an open, independent political forum but

in spite of its seeming vigor still acts something like a satellite to DU, drawing energy from proximity. Perhaps it's a unifying factor, provides an identity. But whatever's going on, for some monitoring and badmouthing DU's apparently just more satisfying than discussing political issues.

[geek tragedy]

24. Trump voters remain a bunch of misinformed dumbfucks nt

[hamsterjill]

31. Because anyone who would have voted for him had to be stupid to begin with!

No surprise here. Trump supporters will believe anything that fits their agenda and they are too stupid to think on their own.

[davsand]

32. It would be illuminating to also ask how many think Elvis is still alive.

I'm willing to bet there's some overlap there.

[dalton99a]

33. Most will vote for him again

The vast majority of them, in fact
