60 volts instead of 120!
I have lost power to several receptacles. When testing them they show about 61 volts. But if I pull them out of the wall and test from hot to ground they will show full voltage.
thanks

Put away your digital mater. Do not use it for this testing, you don't know how to interpret the results and you are being confused. Use only an analog meter or a two wire tester for testing ac circuits.
You have an open neutral.
Check every location on the circuit (working or not). Somewhere on the circuit the neutral has become disconnected.
