... think ACORN stole the election for Obama, a drop from the 52 percent who thought ACORN stole the election in 2008:
This is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn't exist anymore.
They call it "The Fox News effect"
To be fair, I'm sure if the pollsters would have told the Republicans polled that Acorn no longer existed, at most 48% of them would have maintained that Acorn stole the election.

I had a spirited discussion with a Republican a couple days after the election who said that "obviously" the election had been stolen as there had been widespread vote fraud in Ohio. I said "I don't think so, but for arguments sake, let's accept that and throw out Ohio's electoral votes. Obama still won." She thought a bit and added "And Florida. There was vote fraud in Florida."
I said "OK, let's toss out Florida too. He still won."
Without batting an eye she said "How many states would Romney need? There was fraud all over."
I think a lot of this is attributable to the echo chamber that is Fox 'News'. They've been pushing voter fraud as a legitimate issue for four years now, and they were skeptical of the results as they came in on election night. Plus, most if not all of their pundits had predicted a Romney victory. Given that so many of their viewers rely on them as their sole source of information, it isn't surprising that their opinions are skewed.
Doesn't Matter Obama, the black dudewouldstillbe president.
What really has to go is you!

The Electoral Collage needs to go.
That still doesn't make Romney win...
Obama: 65,430,118
Romney: 60,757,979
But lets look back further
Bush: 50,456,002
Gore: 50,999,897
You really want that?
I love a good collage of electorals. Maybe it can be made out of cut paper with macaroni.
