The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 77% of Likely U.S. Voters believe that requiring voter photo ID is a reasonable measure to protect the integrity of elections – up slightly from 74% in 2022 and 2021. Just 17% disagree. As in the past, despite the claim that voter photo IDs discriminate against blacks, the poor, and least educated, blacks are the most supportive with 88% support versus 74% among whites. Those who with a high school and less than a high school degree education are 84% and 75% supportive compared to 65% for those with a graduate school education. There is no evidence that the poor are less supportive than the high income people.
