Americans accept Donald Trump as the legitimate president - Washington Times

Americans accept Donald Trump as the legitimate president - Washington TimesNoisy political theater is in full swing: protest marches over President-elect Donald Trump’s victory have warranted considerable coverage by the media. But does the nation as a whole share in the protesters’ angry insistence that Mr. Trump is “not my president?” Well, maybe not.
“Now that Trump has been declared the winner and will be inaugurated in January, will you accept him as the legitimate president, or not?” asks a new Gallup poll.
The numbers: 84 percent of Americans said they accept Mr. Trump; that number includes 76 percent of those who supported Hillary Clinton. The pollster had similar findings when it asked the same question during the 2000 election, which ultimately relied on Supreme Court decision to pronounce George W. Bush the victor over Al Gore.
“Americans rated the campaign more negatively than any in recent memory. Even so, the majority, 58 percent, say the 2016 election process has not caused permanent harm to the U.S., although 38 percent say it has,” writes Gallup analyst Jeffrey Jones.

The question is, how many of those that voted for Trump thinking he would never actually win, will now accept him as their President? Inquiring minds need to now.
I'm not sure I understand your question. People who voted for him will accept him (thus the reason they voted for him). He might not have been their first choice, but if they were truly in denial of him winning or Hillary not winning, then they just would have stayed home.
There is no option on accepting that he won the election. That said do keep in mind that nearly half of all voters did not vote and that more than half that did vote voted for Hillary or a third Party candidate, meaning less than one 1/4 of the voting population elected trump.
I think repubs are going to very disappointed when trump does not much of what he sad he would, and in the end they ma be more disappointed in trump than many of those that opposed him. My guess is that most conservative actions will be done by the Republican Congress not the new guy in the WH.
Bless your heart.
Nope, it was the simple facts and numbers, call it spin or whatever you want facts do not need you to believe them.What you're saying is more spin. Normal elections have a turnout of much less than the actual voters who can vote. Look at the map - it is red all over. Yes, the popular vote was close, but the number of cities and towns across America voted for Trump. To me, that says much more than what you are implying.
As for disappointment. I was very disappointed by what Obama did and did not do while in office. I think it goes without saying that while people want him to accomplish everything he stated, realistically there will only be a fraction accomplished. But for me, if he comes down strong on illegal immigration, on Isis and on Obamacare - it is a BIG win. If he elects some conservatives to the Supreme Court to help keep the balance of power, that too will be a Big Win.
Anything other than that is icing on the cake - yes, like sending Hillary to jail.
That' nice - thank you for that sweet blessing. But, is it code for the question doesn't make sense to you either so therefore you can't answer it LOL?

And you will get plenty of disappointment from trump, you are no practiced at it, so all will be well. Oh there are few things he will get right, but it is what he will get wrong that concerns people.
Not going to happen, going after Hillary would be the worst move he could make and even he knows that.

Wrong about the election, wrong about the future, wrong about everything.

The protests are rather unpleasant and show a poor attitude towards rule of law and democratic process. The only excuse could be their belief that Trump was a budding Hitler.
I think we've all learned by now that polls are complete BS.
