[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] A recent poll in the United States revealed that the vast majority of supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump still believe that President Trump is the winner of this election. Only 3% of Trump supporters responded that President-elect Joe Biden should begin a peaceful transfer of power, raising concerns that this will continue to be a political burden even after the Biden administration takes office.

On the 23rd (local time), CNBC reported the results of a joint poll conducted by Change Research and CNBC from the 18th to the 21st, surveying 1,203 Trump supporters nationwide. The poll showed that 73% of Trump supporters still believe that President Trump is the legitimate winner of this election. 24% responded that the winner is still uncertain, and only 3% accepted Biden's victory and said a peaceful transfer of power should begin.

Additionally, 31% of Trump supporters believe that President Trump should continue legal battles until election results are certified in all U.S. states, and 66% said he should never concede. CNBC analyzed that this demonstrates the strong cohesion of Trump’s support base despite the confirmed defeat in the election.

Furthermore, 81% of Trump supporters responded that they have no intention of giving President-elect Biden a chance as president, while only 19% said they would recognize him as president. CNBC forecasted that this attitude will pose a significant challenge to the incoming Biden administration. Although Trump lost this election, he received support from over 47% of all voters and garnered more than 73 million votes, setting a record as the losing presidential candidate with the highest number of votes in history. Biden received approximately 79 million votes.

Trump supporters also showed 91% approval for Biden’s economic policy, the 'Buy America' initiative, which is based on Trump’s campaign promises. This policy encourages the U.S. government to purchase products from American companies and to bring key manufacturing supply chains back to the United States. It was one of President Trump’s major campaign promises since the 2016 election.
