Exit Polls 2024: Voter Concerns Center on Democracy and Economy

Early exit polls for the 2024 presidential election reveal that the economy and the state of democracy are the top issues for voters, with Trump supporters prioritizing the economy and Harris supporters focusing on democracy. A significant portion of voters express fear if the opposing side wins, and about 70% anticipate election-related violence. This election marks the first time exit polls have addressed potential violence. Despite widespread dissatisfaction with the country's direction, most voters made their candidate choice well before September, with a small percentage deciding in the final week.
