  That's not more accurate, it adds extraneous information in order to antagonize people, and removes the "nearly one-third of Americans" to imply that it's an unusual opinion. "Despite the release of another Jurassic Park sequel, nearly one-third of Americans still believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen."

    > extraneous information How is this extraneous? Aren't we talking about election fraud? > in order to antagonize people How is this antagonizing people? I'm just stating facts. Trump tried to manipulate election and there is evidence to support this.

      One can argue about whether it's truly extraneous information, but the "despite" is absolutely the wrong connective. The people who think the election was fraudulent do so because of Trump's actions, not despite of them. Those people's thinking is horribly flawed, of course, but it's still better to represent it accurately.
