Rasmussen Survey: 73% Of Voters Support Photo ID Requirement. Despite claims that IDs discriminate against the poor, the poor show the highest support with those making over $200,000 having the least support. Blacks and Hispanics all have about 70% support.

Voters continue to favor requiring photo ID to vote—with support virtually unchanged from 2021. It is a key election integrity measure that President Donald Trump has openly championed—by more than a 3-to-1 margin. In recent surveys, 73% of likely U.S. voters say this requirement is reasonable to protect election integrity, while 21% disagree. Moreover, strong majorities across the political spectrum—86% of Republicans, 64% of Democrats, and 69% of independent voters—believe that voter ID requirements help ensure election integrity. Despite the concerns that voter photo IDs discriminate against minorities and the poor, 70% of blacks and 69% of Hispanics and 77% of those making under $30,000 support voter IDs. By contrast, those making over $200,000 have the costs level of support at 58%.

Whites, blacks, Hispanics, and other races all believe that government photo IDs don’t discriminate against some voters. While the lowest income people don’t think that photo IDs discriminate, those making over $200,000 do. The same pattern is seen in comparing the least educated people to those who went to graduate school. Liberals and Democrats feel most strongly that these ID requirements discriminate against some people.
