But 24% say they are not confident of an accurate tally.

- 13% of Republicans say voting by mail is more likely to be accurate than in-person, while 70% say it is less likely. 17% say it makes no difference.
- 27% of Democrats say it is more likely, compared to 16% who say it is less likely. 56% say it makes no difference.
- 13% of independents say it is more likely, while 31% say it is less likely. 54% say it makes no difference.
The poll, conducted Aug 11-12, surveyed 2,847 people. The margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
