A majority of voters don’t believe Donald Trump will accept the results of the presidential election, according to a national CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday.

While nearly eight in 10 registered voters said they think it’s important for the loser to concede the election once every state has certified its vote, 61 percent said they don’t think Trump will do so if he loses. In contrast, 75 percent expressed confidence that Hillary Clinton would concede if she were to lose on Nov. 8.


However, 68 percent believe Clinton will emerge victorious on Election Day, compared to just 27 percent who think Trump will win.

And despite the Republican nominee’s unsubstantiated claims that the election is being rigged against him, 66 percent have confidence that their votes will be cast and accurately counted. One-third are either “not too confident” or “not at all confident” that the election will be fair.

The survey of 916 registered voters was conducted Oct. 20-23 via landlines and cellphones. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
