Poll: As the 2026 midterm elections approach, just 23% of Americans are confident the vote will not be 'rigged'

As the administration raids county election offices, demands state voter files and tries to restrict voting via executive order, just 23% of Americans say they’re confident that November’s midterms will not be “rigged” in favor of certain candidates.

The other 77% either believe the voting will be rigged (33%) or say they’re not sure what to think (44%).

Likewise, 60% of Americans say Trump is “not likely to accept” a scenario in which Democrats "win enough seats in November to take control of the U.S. House or U.S. Senate” — while just 22% think he’d be likely to accept such a result. Notably, a majority of Republicans either agree that Trump is unlikely to accept a Democratic victory (34%) or say they’re not sure (24%).

...only half of all Americans have a passport; or that millions more either don’t have or can’t readily access their birth certificates.

As a result, the Brennan Center for Justice has estimated that requiring documentary proof of citizenship nationwide would block 21 million eligible voters from being able to cast ballots. When Kansas recently implemented its own version of the SAVE Act, it purged about 40 ineligible voters from its rolls — and prevented 31,000 eligible citizens (or about 12% of all applicants) from registering, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center.
