President Donald Trump released a statement on Sunday citing new polling by CBS showing that 80 percent of Republicans agree with ousting Rep. Liz Cheney and 67 percent say that they do not believe Joe Biden was the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election. This from thegatewaypundit.com.
Trump wrote that he agrees with them 100 percent and that there is no way Biden won the 2020 presidential election.
“Breaking News! New polling by CBS News on the state of the Republican Party (which is very strong!). ‘President Trump has a strong hold on the GOP.’ 80% of Republicans agree with the removal of Liz Cheney from GOP Leadership and only 20% disagree,” Trump wrote. “The poll also showed that 67% of Republicans said that they do not consider Sleepy Joe Biden to be the legitimate winner of the 2020 Presidential Election. I agree with them 100%, just look at the facts and the data—there is no way he won the 2020 Presidential Election!”
CBS reports on their latest polling data, “Eighty percent of Republicans who’d heard about the vote agree with Cheney’s removal — they feel she was off-message, unsupportive of Mr. Trump, and that she’s wrong about the 2020 presidential election. To a third of them, and most particularly for those who place the highest importance on loyalty, Cheney’s removal also shows ‘disloyalty will be punished.’”
The CBS report says, “Republicans say that Mr. Trump himself represents their views just as well as they think the party does; it’s a personal connection to him we’ve seen for years. Today, loyalty also means they specifically want the party to follow more of the former president’s examples across a range of items, including economics, issues of race and immigration, how to treat the media, using power and leadership, generally.”
Further analysis of this poll reveals the following (this from newsmax.com):
- 89 percent think the GOP should follow Trump’s example on economic issues, 88 percent said the same about his immigration issues, 80 percent about his leadership and 77 percent on how he treated the media
- 73 percent said it’s very important for GOP officials and candidates to propose important legislation on key issues, 58 percent said they should agree with voters on economic policy, 50 percent said they should agree with voters on culture and values and 37 percent said they should support claims of 2020 election fraud
- 67 percent said President Joe Biden is not the legitimate winner of the election, compared with 33 percent who said he is
- 53 percent said the GOP should prioritize getting more voters with policies and ideas in its strategy for winning elections, while 47 percent said the party should push for changes to state voting rules
The poll, conducted May 12-14, surveyed 951 Republicans in the U.S. The margin of error is +/- 3.5 percentage points.
President Trump you are missed, sir. Your rightful return is overdue.
