55% of GOP voters said they support allowing U.S. voters to cast their ballots by mail in all upcoming elections, and support rose 10 points if the option were offered only during the coronavirus pandemic.

57% of voters said they were concerned that the election could be postponed due to the coronavirus.

71% of Democrats, 50% of independents and 38% of Republicans back letting Americans vote for president by mail if the pandemic remains.

President Donald Trump and a number of his Republican allies have raised concerns about voting by mail in November’s elections, even as public health experts expect the novel coronavirus sweeping across the country will still pose a public health threat with no vaccine expected until early next year at the soonest.

But according to a new Morning Consult poll, a little over half of voters — fearful about voting in person during the coronavirus outbreak — want the contest to go on and would prefer most Americans cast their ballots at the mailbox rather than risk contracting the coronavirus at their polling place.

The April 9-10 poll found 54 percent of registered voters said that the election should be held on schedule and that most Americans should vote by mail if the coronavirus pandemic is still a public health emergency. That includes 38 percent of Republicans, half of independents and 71 percent of Democrats.
