The following is from Rasmussen Reports.

A majority of voters say they believe widespread cheating is likely to affect the outcome of this fall’s congressional elections, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of likely US voters say they think widespread cheating is likely to affect the outcome of the November midterm elections, including 25% who say it is very likely. Thirty-one percent (31%) say they do not think cheating is likely to affect the elections, while 10% are not sure.

The survey also found continued concerns about election security. Forty-nine percent (49%) say the government has not done enough in recent years to prevent election cheating, while 35% say enough has been done and 16% are not sure.

Among those who say the government has not done enough to prevent election cheating, 81% say they think widespread cheating is likely to affect the outcome of the midterms.

Respondents were also asked about a recent statement by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who said there is “a ton of evidence” the 2020 presidential election was rigged. Forty-six percent (46%) say they agree with that statement, while 45% say they disagree.

Views differ by party. Sixty-four percent (64%) of Republicans, 57% of Democrats and 55% of voters not affiliated with either major party say widespread cheating is likely to affect the outcome of this fall’s congressional elections.

The survey of 1,045 likely US voters was conducted May 18-20, 2026. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
