On Wednesday, outgoing President Donald Trump cited his first win of Gallup's "Most Admired Man of the Year" poll as evidence for his election fraud conspiracy theories — even though in actuality he only won that poll by 18 percent and a greater number of people in total chose Democratic presidents.
Commenters on social media ridiculed Trump for his faulty leap of logic.
This is not difficult to understand:
Democrats/liberals split between Obama (15%) and Biden (6%), whereas GOP/conservatives united around Trump (18%)
And the notion that this dynamic in a Gallup public opinion poll is somehow proof of 2020 voter fraud is obviously make-believe
