Nearly 80% of Americans say Biden won White House, ignoring Trump's refusal to concede

Source: Reuters

By Chris Kahn

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nearly 80% of Americans, including more than half of Republicans, recognize President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the Nov. 3 election after most media organizations called the race for the Democrat based on his leads in critical battleground states, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Biden - who needed 270 Electoral College votes to win - had 279 of those votes to 214 for Trump with results in three states not yet complete, according to Edison Research. In the popular vote, Biden got 76.3 million, or 50.7% of the total, to 71.6 million, or 47.6%, for Trump.

The Reuters/Ipsos national opinion survey, which ran from Saturday afternoon to Tuesday, found that 79% of U.S. adults believe Biden won the White House. Another 13% said the election has not yet been decided, 3% said Trump won and 5% said they do not know.

The results were somewhat split along party lines: about six in 10 Republicans and almost every Democrat said Biden won.

Those "3%ers" get a lot of press despite their tiny numbers.

7. AP has given Arizona to Biden for days, making his E.V. total 290

From the OP excerpt:

Biden - who needed 270 Electoral College votes to win - had 279 of those votes to 214 for Trump with results in three states not yet complete, according to Edison Research.

(Yahoo News uses AP for this)

At this moment, Arizona has Biden ahead by 0.5 percentage points with 98% counted. His lead has been dwindling, it was 0.9 point lead with 90% counted a couple of days ago, but doesn't seem likely that the remaining 2% will change the lead. But I don't know anything about what areas and types of ballots are left to count.

I was worried most republicans would buy the assclown's bs and try to start a civil war.

12. That's great - only 3% think Trump won, and 18% just aren't sure.

That margin will continue to dwindle, but even his base is clearly having doubts or recognizes that he lost and lied to try and cling to power.

This is the result of a poll. The same polls that were so wrong about the election in various states? Don't be surprised when this poll isn't taken seriously by Trumpers. I certainly take it as a grain of salt, and I'm just a pragmatist.
