Favorite MiC Finding:

Republicans’ trust in elections doubled following the Trump victory. After Trump won the 2024 presidential election, 50% of Republicans report trusting election officials, twice the trust level (24%) seen in June 2024. Trust also increased among Independents, growing from 34% to 42%.

Source: The Priority Gap

Why: That Republicans moved so significantly towards election trust post-election suggests that disbelief in U.S. election security is not necessarily a hard-to-dislodge, “sticky” belief; rather, it can be shifted quickly in a more trusting direction given supportive partisan rhetoric and leadership.
