April 24, 2020: Amid ongoing concern about the spread of the coronavirus, Americans are divided about how to conduct national elections in November.

The Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen 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]

There is a significant partisan divide. Sixty-five percent (65%) of Democrats think everyone should vote by mail. However, 62% of Republicans think that states should develop new in-state voting routines with appropriate social distancing procedures.^[1]
