 Almost a third of Republican voters believe former President Donald Trump will be 'reinstated,' new polling from Morning Consult and Politico found

national tracking poll conducted from June 4 through 7 found that 29 per cent of self-identified Republicans believed it very or somewhat likely that Trump will be reinstated as U.S. president this year.

'That's actually something that appears to be resonating fairly deeply with Republican voters,' Morning Consult senior editor Cameron Easley said Wednesday on SiriusXM's 'Julie Mason Mornings' adding that he found it to be an 'eye-popping number.'

The New York Times' Maggie Haberman tweeted last week that former President Donald Trump has been telling people he expects to be reinstated as president by August 

'That seems really high,' Easley said. 

Last week, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman tweeted that Trump 'has been telling a number of people he's in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August.' 

'No that isn't how it works but simply sharing the information,' the journalist added, as an aside. 

The Washington Post confirmed Haberman's reporting noting that Trump has become fixated on election audits and shared with allies that they could result in him returning to the White House later this year. 

'Some advisers said that such comments appear to be just offhand musings,' The Post also wrote.  

No matter the seriousness the sentiment has triggered that belief in various groups, the poll found.  

Among Republicans, 17 per cent said they thought it very likely and 12 per cent said it was somewhat likely that Trump would be reinstated.  

Among all voters, 10 per cent said it was very likely and 9 per cent said it was somewhat likely that Trump would get put back in the White House. 

Beyond Republicans, 22 per cent of those who said they were employed by the government told Morning Consult and Politico's pollsters that there was a very high chance Trump was reinstated. 

An additional, 11 per cent of government employees found the scenario to be somewhat likely. 

Older voters tended to believe it to be less possible. 

Just 11 per cent of baby boomers said it was very or somewhat likely, compared to 32 per cent of millennials and 27 per cent of Gen-Z polled. 

The June 4-7 poll was conducted among 1,990 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus-or-minus 2 per cent. 

Trump has continued stoking the so-called 'big lie,' telling supporters for months he was robbed of a second term, despite there being no evidence of widespread election fraud. 

During an appearance in North Carolina last week, Trump gave a wink to those wanting to believe the theory.   

'We're gonna take back the White House, and sooner than you think,' he said.
