** Who is TargetSmart? Hmmm. Why even ask that question.

** This was in the news ticker on msnbc just now

Sixty-eight percent of registered voters think the coronavirus outbreak will have a big impact on election turnout in the U.S., a new poll shows — and nearly 4 in 10 support delaying the November presidential election until the pandemic is under control.

The findings are from a TargetSmart survey conducted April 8 through April 11.

Democrats are more likely to think the outbreak will have a big impact (80 percent) than independents (66 percent) or Republicans (58 percent). Still, majorities across party lines think the outbreak will have a big impact on voting.

The survey also found that 39 percent support delaying the November general election until the spread of the coronavirus is under control.

Sixty-three percent of registered voters are concerned about the outbreak's preventing voting in this year's elections, including 39 percent who say they are very concerned.

A number of primaries over the last month have been postponed because of the virus.

1. Primaries and general elections are nothing alike.

Postponing the primaries has nothing to do with the general election.

4. It's a poll about November elections

That's why it called my attention. That should not be in a poll.

2. One more day of Trump is too long.

It could even benefit the country to hold the election earlier. Kidding, not kidding.

3. Vote by Mail

Support post offices, shut this POS down.

6. They should have made that a choice in the poll!

This was in the news banner on msnbc just now. I thought - the nerve to even put that up there.

12. We just opened an account with USPS, and ordered books of stamps online. It was easy to do!

We wanted to avoid going to the P.O. during this pandemic..........

5. No, no, and no. This cannot be allowed to happen.

13. States will open for sure now

No way will states allow this. It wouldn’t surprise me that the poll was done to get states to open. Makes sense. Scare the masses more then the virus.

7. Sounds like trump's 40% know there's a reckoning.

[flamingdem]

8. Haha! You might be

right

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. That won't happen. It would take an act of Congress.

[superpatriotman]

10. Voting is the one civic duty I would risk my life for

Especially now.

[morillon]

14. I'm with you on that.

I'm voting. Period.

11. 4 in 10? There is that 40% cult that wants him to be a dictator.

[lame54]

15. If it can be moved...

Why don't we move it forward

[SoonerPride]

16. 4 in 10 surveyed might want it to rain chocolate

And like moving the election, it is also impossible

It would take an act of Congress to move the date and that isn’t happening

[Skittles]

17. they should MOVE IT UP

yes INDEED
