Seven in ten wouldn't change their 2024 presidential vote

Reading

Given a do-over of the 2024 presidential election, most Americans (72%) say they would cast the same ballot, and 16% say they didn't vote in the election at all, according to a Verasight survey conducted Aug. 1-6, 2025.

The rest would revise their choice. Four percent would switch to a third-party or independent candidate, 4% who voted for Trump would move to Harris, 2% would make the opposite switch, and 4% who voted third party would now back one of the major-party nominees.

Verasight survey methodology

How Verasight conducts surveys.

This page describes the Verasight general survey contract, separate from how the Data Library packages it. When a wave report is published, its field dates, sample sizes, and module breakdown are listed in that report.

Mode
Verasight panel recruited via random address-based sampling, random person-to-person text messaging, and dynamic online targeting.
Population
US adults age 18+.
Sample design
Surveys are run as omnibus or single-topic waves. Omnibus waves are split into modules with their own respondent set, typically around one thousand respondents per module.
Field window
Each wave specifies its own field dates. Most omnibus waves field across roughly two weeks.
Weighting
Per-module weighting to CPS targets including age, race and ethnicity, sex, income, education, region, and metropolitan status.
Partisanship benchmark
Pew Research Center's NPORS benchmarking surveys, three-year running average.
Vote benchmark
2024 presidential vote population benchmarks.
Margin of error
Typically about plus or minus 3.4 to 3.6 percent per module at standard module sizes. Question-level MoE is recomputed when a base shrinks materially below the module baseline.
Reporting
