A full 58% of Americans are concerned voter fraud will occur in the upcoming presidential election, according to a PR/PBS News/Marist poll released Friday.
Less than half — 42% — say they are not concerned at all that people who are not eligible to vote will vote or that voters will cast a ballot more than once.
The survey, taken Sept. 27-Oct. 1 among 1,628 adults, also found:
- Republicans (86%) and independents (55%) are more concerned about voter fraud occurring than Democrats (33%).
- 66% say they are concerned that foreign countries will interfere with this year's elections; 34% are not.
- Republicans (81%) and independents (53%) are more concerned than Democrats (25%) that people who are not citizens will vote.
- 69% of Americans say they are very confident or confident in the U.S. Postal Service to deliver election-related mail to voters and election officials in a timely way this year.
The margin of error on the poll is +/- 3.3 percentage points.
