Fewer than 50 percent of West Virginians think 2020 election was legitimate: poll
Fewer than 50 percent of West Virginians think the 2020 presidential election was legitimate, according to a survey from MetroNews West Virginia released Monday.
The survey of 400 registered voters found that 44 percent of respondents said the election results were determined legitimately, while 43 percent said the result was due to fraud and rigging. A separate 14 percent of voters said they were unsure.
The survey found responses sharply divided along party lines. Seventy-one percent of Democrats viewed the election results as legitimate, compared to 21 percent of Republicans.
Independents were more divided on the issue, however, with 36 percent saying the election was legitimate and 44 percent saying it was not. Twenty percent of independents were unsure.
Former President Trump was very popular in West Virginia. He carried the state easily in 2020, receiving 68.8 percent of the vote, compared to 29.7 percent for President Biden.
Separate polling reported by Metro News Friday found that Trump was still popular in the state, carrying 55 percent favorability compared to 36 percent who viewed President Biden favorably.
