Half of the Americans do not expect results from the 2020 presidential election within one or two days after November 3, a new poll shows.

According to new research released by the Pew Research Center on Wednesday, 50 percent of those polled expect to know results within two days after the race between US President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden is over.

“Trump and Biden supporters have deep disagreements over several other aspects of the election and voting process – including whether it will be clear which candidate won even after all the votes are counted,” researchers wrote in the study. 

But the winner will be clear once all the votes are counted, according to 55 percent of Trump supporters and 76 percent of Biden supporters.

“You may have slower results, that is normal, it is part of the process, and it’s making sure that we are accurately counting our ballots,” Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman told reporters.

Over 70 percent of both Trump and Biden supporters also said that they are “extremely motivated” to vote in the presidential election. 

Trump has refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses general election.
