A poll finds that 70 percent of Americans believe Donald Trump will not accept the results of the congressional midterm elections. The finding has raised concern that Trump could pursue a coup if the vote goes against him. The survey concerns his willingness to concede a loss rather than documenting an active plot. Its large majority points to substantial distrust about how he might respond to an unfavorable result. The polling organization was not named. Fieldwork dates and the exact wording of the question were also unavailable, and no evidence was presented that a coup is being planned. For now, the poll measures public anxiety about democratic norms during the midterms.
