The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll found 60 percent of voters say it is right for Trump to question the election results.

Forty-three percent of voters say they plan to vote early.
The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll questioned 1,737 likely voters from Oct. 13 to Oct. 15. It has a plus or minus two point margin of error.
