In an increase from last week, more than half of likely U.S. voters now think Democrat Joe Biden legitimately won the presidential election, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
Among likely voters, 29% said President Trump legitimately won the election, while 58% said they think Biden did.
Thirteen percent said they are not sure who really won. Compared to a Just the News polls last week, Monday's poll showed a 5-point decrease in those who think Trump won and a 9-point increase in those who think Biden legitimately won.
The final votes have yet to be certified, as the Trump campaign pursues lawsuit in multiple key states that allege widespread voter fraud.
When voters were asked who they believed would be declared the winner, the responses were slightly different.
