“What we found in this survey is that Michigan voters are overwhelmingly confident in the state’s electoral system, especially at the county level.”
Richard Czuba, founder of Glengariff Group, is the pollster who conducted the survey. He says prior to last November’s presidential election, only 77% of those surveyed said they have confidence in Michigan’s election system. Today, that number has risen 11 points to 88%.
“And that’s a really important thing to see here in Michigan given how many people were upset over the election system dating back to 2020.”
Czuba says a prior survey showed Republicans distrust in the election system by a much wider margin than Democrats. He says that’s now balanced out.
“Democrats are not happy with the results of the election, obviously. It’s the Harris voters. And yet they have trust in the election system. And I think that’s really an important finding here, that just because your candidate loses doesn’t mean you lose trust in the election system.”
The poll also indicates a majority of Republicans believe thousands of non-citizens are voting in elections, while Independents and Democrats believe that number is much smaller.
