Exit Poll: Majority of US Voters Feel Democracy Is at Risk

According to Edison Research’s national exit poll statistics for Tuesday’s presidential election, nearly three-quarters of respondents think that American democracy is under threat. The election saw a close battle for the president between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

According to the research, democracy and the economy were voters’ top concerns, followed by abortion and immigration. According to the study, 73% of voters believed democracy was under threat, while 25% said it was secure, according to news agency Reuters.

Protecting and strengthening democracy was one of the central campaign themes for Harris in the lead-up to the election.

The poll further showed that Trump’s favourability stood at 44 per cent, slightly down from 46 per cent in the 2020 exit polls when he lost to President Joe Biden. Harris had a favourability rating of 48 per cent, compared to Biden’s 52 per cent in 2020.

On Tuesday, millions of Americans cast their votes to elect the 47th President of the United States.

During her campaign, Kamala Harris emphasised her priorities, including supporting the middle class, implementing tax cuts to benefit over 100 million Americans, ensuring affordable housing, and lifting the abortion ban to protect women’s reproductive rights.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, pledged to bolster the economy, reduce energy costs, impose higher tariffs on foreign goods–particularly imports from China–and launch an extensive deportation program to remove all undocumented immigrants from the US.
