Broad backing for voter ID persists as fraud views split by party, CBS poll shows
TL;DR
CBS News/YouGov poll of 2,500 adults taken March 16-19, 2026, finds broad cross‑party support for photo ID to vote and for proving citizenship to register, though Democrats fear citizenship verification could bar eligible voters; Republicans are more likely to say there is widespread fraud—especially in urban/Democratic areas—but the view isn’t held by a majority; views on mail voting are mixed; most Americans prefer state or local control of elections and largely trust their own vote to be counted.
