NBC News reported in a recent poll that a survey of early voters revealed that Americans are more enthusiastic about voting before Election Day than they were four years ago, but the partisan divide remains as profound.

Five percent of registered electors have already submitted their ballots with only weeks remaining until Election Day. The survey revealed that three percent of respondents voted by mail and two percent voted in person.

An additional 47 percent of respondents indicated that they intend to vote early, bringing the total to 52 percent of Americans who will vote prior to the November 5th election.

On Election Day, forty-four percent of respondents intend to cast their ballots in person.

Around the same time, the results are approximately consistent with those of a 2022 midterm election survey.

In the past, Republicans have tended to vote in person on Election Day, while Democrats have elected for mail-in ballots.

After the COVID-19 pandemic altered voting norms and numerous states implemented mail-in ballot systems to facilitate, mailed ballots may be more diverse than ever before.

However, preliminary findings from the survey indicate that the partisan divide remains robust.

Among voters who have either voted or intend to vote before Election Day, Vice President Harris maintains a 17-point advantage.

The ultra-liberal candidate is in the lead among early in-person voters and those who intend to vote by mail.

Among those who intend to vote on November 5, Trump maintains a 21-point advantage.

The NBC News survey, which was conducted from October 4-8 among 1,000 registered electors, has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
