[Number of the Day: 29 percent of voters still believe Donald Trump is legitimate winner of Election 2020]
** WELCOME TO THE NUMBER OF THE DAY

Yesterday, the Electoral College ([link removed]) formally confirmed Joe Biden ([link removed]) as the winner of Election 2020 ([link removed]) . However, 29% of the nation's voters continue to believe that Donald Trump ([link removed]) was the legitimate winner of this year's presidential election. That total includes 63% of Republicans, 24% of independent voters, and 3% of Democrats.[1] ([link removed])
Additionally, 17% still believe that Trump will eventually be declared the winner and serve a second term. These figures have changed little since Election Day.[1] ([link removed])
This makes 2020 the second consecutive presidential election in which nearly a third of voters do not believe the elected president was the legitimate winner. Those who continue to believe President Trump actually won the election are in many ways the mirror image of those who believe that Hillary Clinton ([link removed]) won in 2016.[1] ([link removed])
Additionally, this is the 9th consecutive election ([link removed]) in which no candidate received more than 53% of the vote. That's the longest such stretch in the nation's history. It highlights the fact that 21st century America remains deeply divided in political terms.
However, 76% of voters ([link removed]) believe that American society is far less polarized than American politics.
