"Polls Reveal Deep Divisions on Legitimacy of Biden's Win and Views on Jan. 6 Events"
A new poll reveals that over a third of US adults question the legitimacy of Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory. The sentiment has slightly increased since December 2021. This skepticism coincides with the third anniversary of the January 6 Capitol attack, which resulted in nine deaths and numerous convictions. States like Colorado and Maine are taking legal steps to prevent Trump from running for office again, citing the 14th amendment. Despite facing multiple charges, Trump remains a dominant figure in Republican polls, with a decrease in Republicans who believe Biden's win was legitimate and an increase in sympathy towards the January 6 rioters.
