More than half of Repub­li­cans believe Don­ald Trump ‘right­ful­ly won’ the elec­tion, even though the major­i­ty admit cur­rent results show Joe Biden is the vic­tor – exhibit­ing GOP skep­ti­cism that there was fun­ny busi­ness sur­round­ing bal­lot col­lec­tion and tabulation.

In a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednes­day, only 5 per cent of the 1,346 Demo­c­rat and Repub­li­can respon­dents thought that Trump won the elec­tion and 73 per cent said Biden was the winner.

But when specif­i­cal­ly asked about the ‘right­ful’ win­ner, Repub­li­cans showed they were sus­pi­cious about how Biden’s vic­to­ry was obtained.
