With two weeks to go before the elections, there is an increasing preference among U.S. voters for early voting. However, there is still a significant partisan divide when it comes to doing so.

The findings come from a new NBC News survey. Conducted between October 4 and 8, it reveals that 5% of registered voters have already cast their ballots—3% by mail and 2% in person. Additionally, 47% of respondents plan to vote early, with 20% opting for mail-in ballots and 27% choosing to vote in person.
