A recent CNN poll found that almost a third of all voters think President Biden’s victory was illegitimate, a number that jumps to 70 percent among Republicans. Those figures are consistent with other national surveys revealing that only about a third of GOP voters trust U.S. elections more generally — a figure that was much higher before Trump's defeat. Fueled by the former president, those levels of distrust have alarmed some party strategists who fear the trend could dampen GOP turnout in 2022, much like Trump’s attacks on mail-in balloting were thought to help Democrats pick up two Senate seats in Georgia earlier this year. “What Donald Trump is saying is actually telling people it's not worth it to vote,” Frank Luntz, a veteran GOP pollster, said last week on The New York Times podcast “Sway.” “And he may be the greatest tool in the Democrats' arsenal to keep control of the House and Senate in 2022,” he added.
