AURN News) — With more than 22 million Americans having already cast their ballots in the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, a new survey reveals concerns about accepting potential election losses among voters from both major parties. The research, conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), a nonpartisan organization, found that one in five Republican voters would support Trump declaring invalid results and taking office by force if he loses the election. By comparison, one in ten Democratic voters indicated they would back similar actions by Harris in the event of her defeat.

The national race remains close between Trump and Harris, though polling indicates Harris maintains a slight advantage in critical swing states that are likely to determine the election's outcome. The PRRI survey also revealed broader concerns about potential authoritarian governance, with 49% of those surveyed expressing worry that Trump would use the presidency to become a dictator. A smaller portion, 28%, indicated similar concerns about Harris.
