AUGUST 27, 2019: Twenty percent (20%) of all voters have had an online telemedicine visit. A series of ScottRasmussen.com national polls ([link removed]) found that’s up from 15% in May and 13% a year ago.[1] ([link removed]) [2] ([link removed])
Looking to the future, another 37% say they’re likely to try a doctor’s appointment via live video at some point.
Not surprisingly, voters under 35 are far more likely than older voters to have tried the telemedicine approach.
* Among these younger voters, 34% have already had a telemedicine appointment, and the rest overwhelmingly expect to do so.
* Among senior citizens, just 5% have tried an online doctor’s visit. And the vast majority of those over 65 say they are unlikely to do so in the future.
