Roughly half of voters who said they voted for Donald Trump last November, 49 percent, believe Trump won the popular vote, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll. That's compared to 40 percent who say Democrat Hillary Clinton won.
Overall, a majority of voters, 59 percent, believe Clinton won more votes than Trump, but 28 percent believe Trump won more votes.
Respondents were asked which presidential candidate won the national popular vote and the Electoral College after Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach the vice chair of Trumps controversial Presidential Advisory Commission on Electoral Integrity said in a televised interview last week that "we may never know" whether Clinton won the popular vote.
The president himself asserted in late November that he won the popular and the electoral vote. "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," Trump tweeted.

(610 posts)trump gives them license to hate, demean, and to act crass and coarse. The last thing they would want to do is acknowledge his illegitimacy.

Maybe next, a group of Nuns will invite him to speak on celibacy and how to protect your private areas to be protected from potential "grabbers". Jeez Louise!
This country just won't admit what a COLOSSAL mistake that was made in November. COLOSSAL!

Among their social circles, he did with the popular vote.

(26,806 posts)after the hacking. I've gone back there 2 or 3 times just to see if anything has changed. It hasn't. Why they still keep that damn board up and running is beyond belief. Maybe TPTB are keeping track of user origins.
Yes, they can do that without your knowledge and consent.

(58,785 posts)in spite of its seeming vigor still acts something like a satellite to DU, drawing energy from proximity. Perhaps it's a unifying factor, provides an identity. But whatever's going on, for some monitoring and badmouthing DU's apparently just more satisfying than discussing political issues.
