Americans are more eager to vote early than they were before the pandemic, but a deep partisan divide on early voting remains, the latest national NBC News poll shows.
With not even a month to go before Election Day, 5% of registered voters said they had already cast their ballots (3% by mail and 2% in person), according to the new poll, which surveyed people between Oct. 4-8.
Another 47% said they plan to vote early (20% by mail and 27% in person).
Overall, 52% of voters said they're planning to cast their ballots early this year, with 44% planning to vote in person on Election Day. That's roughly in line with NBC News poll results from a similar point in the 2022 midterm elections, when 49% of voters said they planned to vote early and 47% planned to vote on Election Day.
Meanwhile, 3% said they aren't sure which method they will use to vote and 1% said they won't vote.
