23% Would Opt Out Of Receiving Mail From USPS

​

If allowed, 23% of voters would opt out of receiving physical mail from the U.S. Postal Service. A Napolitan News survey found that 40% of younger voters (under 35) would opt out. Just 7% of those over 65 would do the same.

The survey also found that most voters (54%) say most of the mail they receive is junk that ends up in the wastebasket before it’s even opened. That total includes 26% who say at least three quarters of the mail they receive is junk.

Overall, 75% have a favorable view of the U.S. Postal Service, which is higher than other government agencies. (LINK) Despite this, 40% are in favor of a proposal to privatize the USPS, while 33% are opposed.

If voters had something important to send, 45% would use the Postal Service, while 44% would use FedEx or UPS.

The Napolitan News Service surveys of 1,000 Registered Voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen December 27-28, 2024. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. and has a margin of error of +/- 3.1.
