APRIL 24, 2020: Amid ongoing concern about the spread of the coronavirus ([link removed]) , Americans are divided about how to conduct national elections ([link removed]) in November.
The _Just the News_ Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen ([link removed]) found that 47% of registered voters believe everyone should vote by mail. At the same time, however, 42% think states should develop new in-person voting routines and 11% are Not Sure.[1] ([link removed])
There is a significant partisan divide. Sixty-five percent (65%) of Democrats ([link removed]) think everyone should vote by mail. However, 62% of Republicans ([link removed]) think that states should develop new in-state voting routines with appropriate social distancing procedures.[1] ([link removed])
In considering these results, it’s important to recognize that thoughts about how voting will be conducted in November are not likely to be a topic of discussion at most dinner tables. In the midst of a pandemic producing health worries and unprecedented job loss, those conversations are most likely focused around more immediate concerns.
