CNN Poll: Percentage of Republicans who think Biden's 2020 win was illegitimate ticks back up near 70% - Lemmy.world

The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

The really shocking thing here is that 31% of Republicans are still aware of reality enough to understand that Biden won legitimately.

Like 70% also believe angels are real…

Apparently decades of No Child Left Behind and removing critical thinking from public education did what republicans wanted it to do

Not to defend No Child Left Behind but it was only a 2002 law, the majority of these people are too old to have been in school since its passage.

Yes but that change affected anyone in school at the time as well. No Child Left Behind touched the schooling of people up to the age of 38. That’s roughly half of Americans. You would need to remove people not of voting age, but the impact is still huge.

It was repealed & replaced in 2015 anyway so it was only in effect for 13 years and over half of states had waivers for it by then anyway. Once again not defending the state of public education or laws passed affecting it, just making sure we all know the facts.
