Battleground states are seeing a drop in the number of likely voters planning to vote by mail, according to a poll released Wednesday.
A CNBC/Change Research poll determined that 33 percent of likely battleground state voters said they will vote by mail in the November election.
In the last poll conducted two weeks ago, 38 percent of battleground voters, from Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, intended to vote by mail.
The change in plans for battleground state voters comes after reports of the U.S. Postal Service instituting changes that have delayed mail, including the removal of mail sorting machines and mailboxes.
The largest shift came among Democratic voters; 57 percent of Democrats in the battleground states said they intend to vote by mail in the new poll, compared to 64 percent two weeks ago.
