Summary
Nearly three-quarters of voters say they trust the upcoming midterm results will be counted accurately, according to a New York Times/Siena poll released less than two weeks before Election Day.
Twenty-three percent say they do not trust the results will be accurate, up from 17% who said the same about the 2024 presidential election.
The poll also found many voters worry Republicans could try to overturn the outcome, even as confidence in vote counting remains strong across Democrats, Republicans and independents.
The survey interviewed 3,494 voters from Oct. 12 to 19 and reported a margin of error of plus or minus 1.9 percentage points.
