About the same portion of U.S. adults (53%) say they\u2019ve been following Biden\u2019s statements very or fairly closely. But in this case, there is a major gap between Republicans (39% very or fairly closely following) and Democrats (67%).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There also are wide gaps in how the two candidates\u2019 messages are being evaluated. About one-third (34%) of all Americans say Trump has been delivering a \u201ccompletely\u201d or \u201cmostly\u201d right message to the country since the election; 64% say it has been completely or mostly wrong. The numbers are reversed for Biden, with about two-thirds (63%) saying he has generally been delivering the right message and 34% saying it has been mostly or completely wrong.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not the first time this year that Americans overall have expressed negative views about Trump\u2019s messaging on key events. In an <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2020\/09\/15\/majority-of-americans-disapprove-of-trumps-covid-19-messaging-though-large-partisan-gaps-persist\/\">early September survey<\/a>, 57% said he had been delivering a completely or mostly wrong message to the country about the coronavirus pandemic.

But while Democrats are nearly unanimous in their approval of Biden\u2019s message and disapproval of Trump\u2019s \u2013 91% take each position \u2013 about a third of Republicans express disapproval of Trump\u2019s message, and a similar share approve of Biden\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically, among Republicans and those who lean Republican, 66% say Trump\u2019s message has been completely or mostly right, while 32% say it has been mostly or completely wrong. And while the majority of Republicans (64%) disapprove of Biden\u2019s message, 33% express approval \u2013 about the same portion who disapprove of Trump\u2019s public statements.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;who-are-the-republicans-who-most-disapprove-of-trumps-messaging-since-the-polls-have-closed&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"who-are-the-republicans-who-most-disapprove-of-trumps-messaging-since-the-polls-have-closed\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who are the Republicans who most disapprove of Trump\u2019s messaging since the polls have closed?<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/?attachment_id=84504\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-84504\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eeeeee\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eeeeee;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" class=\"wp-image-84504 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/12\/PJ_2020.12.15_Trump-post-election_1-03.png\" alt=\"Among Republicans, those who are younger, have college degrees more likely to say Trump is sending wrong message post-election\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain demographic characteristics and news consumption habits set apart the 32% of Republicans who diverge from the party majority on Trump\u2019s post-election messaging. (This group largely overlaps with the Republicans who approve of Biden\u2019s messaging: Among Republicans who say they disapprove of Trump\u2019s message, 64% of them also say they approve of Biden\u2019s.)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the clearest dividing lines among Republicans on this issue is their ideology within the party. Republicans who describe their political ideology as moderate or liberal are far more likely to disapprove of Trump\u2019s messaging than conservative Republicans (51% vs. 20%).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Education and age also factor in, though to a lesser degree. Republicans with at least a college degree are more likely than those with less education to say Trump\u2019s message has been wrong (39% vs. 30% of those with a high school education or less). Similarly, 37% of Republicans ages 18 to 49 say Trump is delivering the wrong message, compared with 27% of Republicans ages 50 and older.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while they make up only a small part of the GOP overall, just under half of Hispanic Republicans (45%) say Trump\u2019s message has been mostly or completely wrong.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There also are significant gaps in Republicans\u2019 views of Trump\u2019s messaging based on which media sources they turn to most. The<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/topics\/american-news-pathways\/\"> American News Pathways project<\/a> asked respondents about eight major news sources that they may have used after polls closed on Election Day, and Republicans are divided into three main groups: those who say only sources with conservative-leaning audiences (Fox News and talk radio) are among their major sources for news after the election; those who rely on a mix of sources that include Fox News and\/or talk radio and other outlets; and those who rely only on sources that do not include either Fox News or talk radio (i.e., sources with left-leaning or politically mixed audiences). There also is a fourth group that uses none of the eight major sources asked about (see <a href=\"_Grouping_respondents\">Appendix<\/a> for details).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/?attachment_id=84505\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-84505\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f1f1f1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f1f1f1;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" class=\"wp-image-84505 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/12\/PJ_2020.12.15_Trump-post-election_1-04.png\" alt=\"Among Republicans, media diet linked with substantial differences in views of Trump\u2019s message \"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republicans who rely only on Fox News and talk radio are much less likely than Republicans in the other two media groups to disapprove of Trump\u2019s message. Just 11% of Republicans who turn only to Fox News and\/or talk radio say Trump\u2019s messaging has been mostly or completely wrong. That disapproval figure quadruples among Republicans in the mixed-sources group, to 42%. And it becomes the majority view (57%) among Republicans who rely on major sources other than Fox News or talk radio.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;democrats-and-republicans-differ-widely-on-newsworthiness-of-voter-fraud-allegations&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"democrats-and-republicans-differ-widely-on-newsworthiness-of-voter-fraud-allegations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Democrats and Republicans differ widely on newsworthiness of voter fraud allegations<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/?attachment_id=84506\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-84506\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f0f0f0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f0f0f0;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 309px) 100vw, 309px\" class=\"wp-image-84506 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/12\/PJ_2020.12.15_Trump-post-election_1-05.png\" alt=\"Partisan divide on amount of attention given to voter fraud allegations, agreement on attention to Trump not conceding \"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the polls closed on Nov. 3, Trump\u2019s central message has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/alisondurkee\/2020\/11\/09\/trump-legal-strategy-to-contest-election-hinges-on-claims-of-voter-fraud-that-have-already-been-largely-rejected-by-courts\/?sh=3efc362d2325\">featured allegations that the results were tainted by voter fraud<\/a> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-biden\/barr-sees-no-sign-of-major-u-s-vote-fraud-despite-trumps-claims-idUSKBN28B5TA\">despite no credible evidence of such widespread fraud<\/a>. There are clear differences between the parties on how much attention those allegations warrant.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, a plurality of Americans (42%) say those allegations have received too much attention, while 31% say they have received too little attention and 25% say they have received about the right amount of attention.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than half of Republicans (58%) say those allegations have received too little attention, while about one-in-five (18%) say they have received too much and 22% say the level of attention has been about right.

Among the Republicans who only used Fox News or talk radio as major sources for post-election news, only 6% say there has been too much attention paid to the fraud allegations, compared with 78% who say there has been too little attention. In the group that use other sources in addition to Fox News and\/or talk radio, 26% say there has been too much attention, while 45% say there has been too little. And among Republicans who don\u2019t rely on Fox News or talk radio and only rely on other sources for their post-election news, 34% say there\u2019s been too much attention to the allegations, while the portion of those saying there\u2019s been insufficient attention to the fraud claims falls to 35%.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A question about Trump\u2019s refusal to publicly concede to Biden\u00a0(as of publication on Dec. 15)\u00a0generated substantially more bipartisan agreement \u2013 39% of Republicans and 31% of Democrats say this has generated too much attention.\u00a0 And pluralities in both parties \u2013 41% among Republicans and 48% among Democrats \u2013 say that storyline has gotten about the right amount of attention.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/?attachment_id=84507\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-84507\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f4f4f4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f4f4f4;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" class=\"wp-image-84507 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/12\/PJ_2020.12.15_Trump-post-election_1-06.png\" alt=\"Half of U.S. adults know that not conceding after election would be unprecedented in modern history\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beneath this rare occurrence of partisan agreement, however, are differences in people\u2019s sense of how unusual it is for the losing candidate not to concede.
