Most voters believe they’ll have to wait past election night to find out whether President Donald Trump or Joe Biden has won the 2020 race, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.
The results suggest that warnings about ballot-counting delays from election administrators and voting rights advocates are breaking through to the broader public. The coronavirus pandemic is producing a sharp uptick in voting by mail — many times the previous mail voting rates in some states, according to polling and ballot request data. And counting mail ballots can be a more time-consuming process than counting Election Day votes cast at a polling place.
A majority of voters in the POLITICO/Morning Consult poll — 53 percent — said they were either very or somewhat concerned that Trump would prematurely declare victory for the election. One-third of respondents expressed the same concerns about Biden.
