Trump’s falsehoods — and what Democrats say is the threat he poses to democracy — have even some Democrats questioning whether their party should accept a loss in the Nov. 5 election.

While 19% of Republicans say Trump should reject the election results if he loses, 12% of Democrats say Kamala Harris should do the same if she loses.

    Huh? Per the quoted text in your post:

    12% of Democrats say Kamala Harris should do the same if she loses.

      Yeah, so if you add the 12 percent to 19 percent, that’s 31 percent overall among the two parties in play for the presidency. If you count independents, it’s a little lower. Still a disturbingly high number.

        Those numbers are not additive.

        If you assume that 50% of voters are Democrat and 50% are Republican, then you’d average them to get an idea of what percentage of Americans believe in that.
