Thirty-six percent of respondents said it was “definitely true” that the media lied about polling to damage Trump, and 37 percent said it was “probably true,” according to the Pollster Democracy Corps survey released Friday

Most Republicans were receptive to Trump’s claim that “millions of votes” were cast illegally, the poll found.

And respondents believed Trump’s claim that he won the election in a “historic landslide.” Thirty-eight percent said that was definitely true, and 25 percent said it was probably true.

Trump captured 306 electoral votes, a total of 56.88 percent, which ranks 46th out of 58 presidential elections. Clinton, meanwhile, won the popular vote by about 2.6 million votes.

Both Trump and top adviser Kellyanne Conway have both publicly insisted that Trump’s win was a landslide.

Majorities of respondents also said it was definitely or probably true that reports of Russian interference in the election were conspiracy theories promoted by Clinton, and that Clinton was paying for recounts to undermine Trump’s victory.

In October, top U.S. security officials blamed Russia for hacking Democratic organizations.

The poll was taken from Dec. 2 to 5 among 800 respondents who either voted for Trump, did not vote for Trump but identify as Republicans, or are independents who lean Republican.
