September 16, 2022: Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters think voting by mail should only be allowed under certain circumstances for people who are unable to vote in person. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 43% think people should be allowed to vote by mail for any reason.
The survey also found that 47% of voters think fraud is more common with mail-in ballots than with in-person voting. Just 8% think fraud is more common with in-person voting, 25% think there is no difference, and 20% are not sure.
Methodology
The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on September 1-2, 2022. Fieldwork for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 2.8 percentage points.
