ABC News: “The poll also asked who among a range of prominent political figures – such as Pence and Utah Sen. Mitt Romney – Americans trust to safeguard democracy. With Biden set to take the helm in the White House in 10 days, after four years of a presidency animated by deep divisions, he is the only one with majority support on that question (53%). Still, reflecting the political chasm he will seek to overcome, there are divisions in how much Democrats (94%) and Republicans (14%) trust the incoming president to protect democracy.”
“One of the least-trusted figures is Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who helped spearhead a failed effort to contest electoral votes in a slate of battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania. An overwhelming 71% of Americans say they don’t trust him to defend democracy, including 47% who don’t trust him at all.”
