2024 Exit Polls: Democracy and Economy Dominate Voter Concerns

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, exit polls reveal a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, with voters primarily concerned about the state of democracy and economic issues. A significant majority of voters express dissatisfaction with the country's direction and view American democracy as threatened. Economic discontent is high, with many voters feeling worse off financially than four years ago. While Trump is seen as more extreme, both candidates have unfavorable ratings. Key issues include democracy, the economy, abortion, and immigration, with Harris leading on abortion trust and Trump on immigration and the economy.
