In the wake of Donald Trump’s 2024 victory, huge numbers of Republicans who previously believed that the economy was “getting worse” and that U.S. elections are not “free and fair” no longer believe those things, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

Democrats have moved in the other direction on both questions but to a much smaller degree.

The survey of 1,612 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Nov. 14 to Nov. 18, found that fewer than half of Republicans (48%) now say the economy is getting worse. But immediately before the Nov. 5 election, nearly three-quarters of Republicans (74%) said the economy was going downhill.

That’s a sudden 26-point shift.

Meanwhile, a mere 13% of Republicans said in a December 2021 Yahoo News/YouGov poll that the 2020 election — which Trump lost to Joe Biden, then tried to overturn — had been free and fair. Last month, just 27% of Republicans predicted this year’s contest would be free and fair.

Yet now that Trump has won, a full 89% of Republicans say the 2024 election cleared that bar.

1. Next poll: "Has Oceania always been at war with Eurasia?"

Republicans: "umm, yeah."

2. Exactly as I had foreseen.

Right wing economic anxiety will approach nonexistent in two months and we will instantly be in the best economy in the history of time and space.
