The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
September 4, 2020: Fifteen percent (15%) of voters nationwide discussed the presidential election with someone outside their family every day last week. At the other extreme, a Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 19% did not discuss the election at all outside their family.[1]
Broadening the categories a bit shows that 36% discussed the election outside their family either most days or every day. An identical number—36%—had such a discussion "maybe once" or not at all. In between are 26% who discussed the election a couple of times.[1]
On "most days," 40% of Republicans and 39% of Democrats discussed the election with people outside their family. Just 29% of independent voters did the same.[1]
Discussions were more common within the confines of the family. Half of all voters (49%) discussed the election with their immediate family most days or every day.[1]
