I am continually amazed at how little Americans know and understand about our government.

Eight months after former President Donald Trump left office, almost a quarter of Republican voters still believe he'll be reinstated in the White House before the end of 2021—despite numerous failed predictions among fans and supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Even though the U.S. Constitution doesn't provide a mechanism for the "reinstatement" of a president who lost an election, 22 percent of Republican voters still think Trump will "likely" be reinstated before the end of the year, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll. (emphasis added by me)


Of those, 11 percent say it's "very likely" Trump will be reinstated and 11 percent say it's "somewhat likely." The number of Republican voters who believe that about Trump was far greater than Democratic voters—12 percent—and even slightly greater than the 19 percent of Trump voters.
