The following is from Rasmussen Reports.
By more than 3-to-1, likely US voters continue to support requiring photo identification to vote—a measure that former President Donald Trump has consistently championed as key to protecting election integrity.
The new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 73% of likely voters say they believe requiring photo ID to vote is a reasonable way to ensure secure elections. This is down slightly from 77% in January, while 21% say they oppose the requirement.
The issue of voter ID remains at the forefront of election debates. In March, Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, dropped a Biden-era federal lawsuit against Georgia’s election law requiring photo ID. That law had been criticized by Democrats and the prior administration as restrictive.
Most voters also reject the argument that voter ID laws are discriminatory. Only 35% say they believe such laws discriminate against some voters, which is up slightly from 30% in January. A majority, 54%, say they do not see voter ID as discriminatory, while 11% are unsure.
Trust in political parties on election integrity is closely divided. Forty-five percent of voters say they trust Democrats more to protect the integrity of elections, while 43% say they trust Republicans more. Twelve percent say they are not sure. Most voters remain strongly aligned with their own party on this question, while unaffiliated voters are nearly split.
Ideology also shapes perceptions of voter ID. Most self-identified conservative voters and moderates say voter ID requirements do not discriminate. Liberal voters are more likely to say they believe the laws are discriminatory.
The survey also highlights the deep partisan divide based on 2024 voting patterns. 91% of Trump voters say requiring photo ID is a reasonable way to protect election integrity, compared to just 56% of Kamala Harris voters who share that view.
The survey of 1,176 likely US voters was conducted on July 24 and 27-28, 2025, with a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points.
