August 27, 2019: Twenty percent (20%) of all voters have had an online telemedicine visit. A series of ScottRasmussen.com national polls found that’s up from 15% in May and 13% a year ago.^[1][2]

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.
