Broad partisan mistrust of the opposing party's commitment to fair elections % who say the Republican Party is committed to making sure elections in the USS are fair and accurate % who say the Democratic Party is committed to making sure elections in the USS are fair and accurate
Views of parties’ commitment to fair elections. While 62% of Americans say the Democratic Party is at least somewhat committed to fair and accurate elections, just 23% say it is very committed to this objective. A narrower majority (56%) says the Republican Party is very or somewhat committed to fair and accurate elections, with 20% saying the GOP is very committed.
In part, these views reflect deeply cynical views among members of both parties about the other party. Majorities of both Democrats (64%) and Republicans (56%) say the opposing party has little or no commitment to fair and accurate elections in the U.S.
