Poll: As the 2026 midterm elections approach, just 23% of Americans are confident the vote will not be 'rigged'
Nearly six in 10 Americans (59%) disagree with President Trump that Republicans should “take over the voting” in 15 states in order to “nationalize” the 2026 midterm elections, according to a new Yahoo/YouGov poll.
Just 19% say they would favor the idea.
“The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over,’” Trump declared in a Feb. 2 interview with Dan Bongino, his former deputy FBI director. “We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

The new Yahoo/YouGov survey of 1,704 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Feb. 9 to 12, is a striking reminder of how Trump’s false claims of widespread election fraud — and his new talk of a federal election takeover by the GOP — have undermined faith in America’s democratic process.
