Most Of Public Supports Allowing Mail-In Voting Nationally

The chart above is from the AP / NORC Poll -- done between April 16th and 20th of a national sample of 1,057 adults, with a 4 point margin of error.

It shows that the voting public disagrees with Donald Trump (and his Republican cohorts) about voting by mail. Trump and the Republicans are blocking efforts to allow all voters to vote by mail in the November election. But 60% of the public supports allowing anyone to vote by mail without giving a reason. That includes 73% of Democrats and 46% of Republicans.

And nearly half of the public (48%) would support voting ONLY by mail (and eliminating in-person voting), with only 31% opposing that.

The public wants voting rights protected without forcing voters to expose themselves to the Coronavirus. If the Republicans continue to oppose allowing mail-in voting, they could hurt their chances in the coming election.
