Monmouth: “While most Americans (62%) say Biden won the presidency fair and square, about one-third (32%) continue to believe his victory was only due to voter fraud – a number that has remained unchanged from polls taken immediately after the November election and after the inauguration. About 1 in 10 American adults (12%) say they will never accept Biden as president (similar to 10% in January). Among Republicans, nearly two-thirds (65%) maintain Biden’s win was due to voter fraud and 29% say they will never accept him as president. One in four Americans believe that, regardless of the actual actions taken on January 6th, the anger that led to the riot was justified either fully (8%) or partially (18%). Those saying the anger that led to the attack was at least partially justified includes 40% of Republicans, 30% of independents, and even 10% of Dems.”

“Nearly half the public (47%) says white nationalism played a major role in the violent attack on the Capitol and another 23% says it played a minor role. Just 22% say it played no role at all in the uprising. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans say white nationalism in the United States is a problem overall, including 47% who say it is a big problem. Another 34% say it is not a problem at all. Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats (88%) say it is a problem while just under 4 in 10 Republicans (38%) agree. A majority of independents (59%) say white nationalism is a problem for the country. People of color (73% overall, including 60% who say it is a big problem) are more likely than those who are white (59% overall and 39% big problem) to see this as a problem. Among white Americans, there is not much difference in the overall view of white nationalism as a problem when comparing those with a college degree (63%) to those without a college education (57%). However, white college graduates (48%) are more likely than non-college whites (35%) to see it as a big problem.”
