Of Republican respondents, 77% said they think Trump is the legitimate winner, while just 12% of Republicans believe Biden is the legitimate winner. About a quarter of independent voters also said they believe Trump won.

Among Democrats, 87% think that Biden is the winner.

Rasmussen noted that the survey was conducted from Thursday night until Saturday early afternoon.

"During the time of this survey, no television network or other news source had formally called the race for Biden," he said. 

The survey was comprised of 1,200 registered voters and conducted by Scott Rasmussen from Nov. 5-7, 2020.
