| Poll: Half of Republicans would reject election result if Clinton wins | |
| Only half of likely Republican voters say that they will accept Hillary Clinton as their president if the former secretary of state wins in the upcoming general election, a new poll from Reuters/Ipsos showed, indicating that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s continued baseless attacks on the election as “rigged” has permeated his voters base. | |
| Nearly 70% of Republican voters said that if Clinton wins, it will be due to illegal voting or vote rigging. The same percentage of Democrats, meanwhile, said that they would accept a Trump victory. | |
| Nearly 80% of Republicans told Reuters that they are concerned about “the accuracy of the final vote count,” and only six in ten are confident that their votes will be tabulated accurately. | |
| Trump counts himself as one of those who isn’t necessarily sure to support Clinton if she is indeed elected, winkingly telling viewers of the third presidential debate that “I will keep you in suspense” on whether he would concede the election to Clinton. | |
