Blah blah

"Nearly one third..."

So, by rough equivalency the same amount of either Republicans OR Democrats belive in stolen elections.

The portrayal of either party by the other is ridiculous. Clearly it is both a common and non-partisan belief. Safely put, one in three United States Statesians don't believe in the legitimacy of elections they don't win.

Aside from the sibling comment's point, keep in mind that the 2000 election was actually decided by a court case. Regardless of how you judge this fact personally, it is at the very least bound to distort survey responses.

"one-third of Americans still believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen."

Which is a lot higher than one third of Democrats believing that about the other things you brought up.

Depending on the poll, 60-75% of Republicans think the 2020 election was stolen.
