There are some nuggets here that are worthy of attention.
Notably,
Many Democrats think the election was stolen from Trump.
56% of Biden voters said they voted against Trump, not for Biden.

The Democrat, by pushing to make the election a referendum on Trump, have placed themselves in a precarious position. Bidens grip on the Presidency is suspect even if he's sworn in due to the fact that a large percentage of voters believe the election was stolen and 44% of Democrats votes were against Trump. The votes against Trump are probably more due to the fact that many will not admit that they voted for someone they didn't think was qualified.

 
Democrats think the election was stolen? Wow, that's weird!

Concerning the anti-Trump vote, that doesn't surprise me. A lot of conservatives voted against Hillary in 2016. During the campaigns that year, Sean Hannity even nicknamed his radio show "The Stop Hillary Express. " He did NOT name it "The Vote for Trump Express."
 
The article you posted doesn't say anywhere that "a third of democrats believe the election was stolen from Trump". Here are a few things it actually says about Democrats:

Eighty-four percent (84%) of Democrats, 37% of Republicans and 59% of voters not affiliated with either major party believe Trump should concede.

Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans say it’s Very Likely the Democrats stole the election, but just as many Democrats (61%) say it’s Not At All Likely. Among unaffiliateds, 29% feel it’s a stolen election; 45% do not.

It's an interesting article, I just wish the thread title reflected what the article actually said.

Wow!

There ARE some honest Democrats!

Thanks for the uplifting news!

Complete and utter horse feces!!!
Well done.
Idiocy on a level that’s difficult to achieve.

You can post anything on here and claim it to be true and some people will say they believe it. I don't believe that a third of the most die hard Trump supporters believe it. I think they are using stolen as a way to undermine democracy despite knowing he lost the election because they genuinely hate America.

So one criticism I have here that probably won't get covered by others (there are far more criticisms, but wanted to address this first), why are they still sampling only "likely voters" here? I can understand limiting polls related to voting for people or legislation, initiatives to likely voters. However, limiting this type of question to only likely voters doesn't seem like it has any actual purpose.

The purpose would be if there’s a do-over, but short of that...

Nothing in the article supports the thread title.
 
The only word that matters in the OP is "Rasmussen" because that polling company has a far-right leaning bias. Its only goal is to make Republicans look great and Democrats look terrible. No Democrats believe Joe Biden stole victory from Donald Trump.

I probably should have used one of the titles in the report.
If you do the math it comes out.

More lies.
Your reputation grows.

Wrapping yurself in the flag by using "democracy" and America is dead wrong when you are supporting the defeat of both by supporting a Socialist move to the left in the country.

I'm trying to do the math, but it's not adding up for me. Can you post your math using the statistics from the article?

In order to see the actual report (where you will probably find that the vast majority of those other 39% do not think Biden/Democrats cheated, just not to the same level of the 61% surety), you have to be a member of their "premium club". So no, the math does not "work out" since you don't know what the other answers were. In fact, we don't even know how many Democrats were asked or how they know for sure they are Democrats.
 
We just had yet another free and democratic election. The people have spoken, and it's up to the leaders, who serve at the pleasure of the people, to listen.
Instead, Donald Trump, not the Republican party, not "conservatives," no, Donald Trump is doing his very best to undermine confidence in that free democratic election, just as he did his best to make it as difficult as possible to vote in that election.
It is Donald Trump, not Republicans, not conservatives, no, Donald Trump who is undermining our democracy, who wants to hang on to power regardless of the will of the people. That one man is a danger to our democratic traditions and must be removed from power ASAP.
In another 50 years I'll be gone, and so will Donald Trump, but people will still be talking about how the election was stolen. Democracy will still be compromised.
Vladimir Putin will be gone, too, but the Russians will still chuckle about how democracy lost back in 2020.
 
Rasmussen


Try again
 
The dumb and the lying will never stop.

And you can't rehabilitate those Trump Republicans. Ostracize them.

Socialism isn't ever happening in the US, it is just a word used by leaders of the right to keep stupid people loyal.

The article also says that 61% of Republicans say it’s Very Likely the Democrats stole the election. So if this is the statistic that was used to justify the thread title, it could just as easily be said that nearly a third of Republican believe the election was not stolen from Trump.

No, it is not just Donald Trump when Republicans are lining up to help and publicly support himi.

76% of Americans think Biden stole the election 76%.

It’s possible that the OP is getting his numbers from this.
Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans say it’s Very Likely the Democrats stole the election, but just as many Democrats (61%) say it’s Not At All Likely.

If you subtract 61 from 100 you have 39% that think it was stolen. Roughly a third. But without being a member connected to the report the exact demographics aren’t available.
