62% of voters are concerned cheating will affect the 2024 election: poll

A new poll found that 62% of voters are concerned cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election.

According to a poll by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute released Wednesday, 62% of likely national voters have concerns about cheating in the election. A total of 37% of likely voters nationwide were "very" concerned, with 25% "somewhat" concerned, with likely voters in battleground states splitting similarly.

Nationally, a total of 18% of likely voters received more than one mail-in ballot or a ballot for a person who didn't reside at their address in the 2020 election. The total was 20% among battleground state voters.

The battleground states for the poll are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

The survey was conducted July 9-12, of 2,466 likely voters nationwide. The questions to battleground state voters were asked of 5,605 likely voters.

The margin of error is +/- 2 percentage points for the nationwide survey and +/-1 percentage points for the battleground states.

Jim Lakely, vice president of The Heartland Institute, said in a statement: “Millions of Americans watched normal election rules be thrown out the window in 2020, and then watched the count drag on and on in just the states that Joe Biden needed to win the election by the narrowest of margins. It’s no wonder, then, that a strong majority of Americans are worried that cheating will affect the outcome this November. And they have good reason to worry when this poll shows that 20% of likely voters in battleground states report receiving multiple ballots in the mail or a ballot for someone who doesn’t even live there."
