September 16, 2020: In terms of its impact on their own lives, 76% of registered voters nationwide believe Election 2020 is “very important.” A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that another 16% say it’s somewhat important while 7% consider it not important or are not sure.[1]

Those who support major party presidential candidates are far more likely than others to consider the election very important. Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Biden supporters consider it that important. So do 84% of Trump supporters.[1]

As for those considering other candidates, just 62% believe the election is very important. Among those unlikely to vote, that figure falls to 32%.[1]

Among those unlikely to vote, 38% either consider the election to either be unimportant (24%) or are not sure if it will have an impact on their lives (14%).[1]
