A merely one-quarter call themselves enthusiastic or satisfied with the state of the nation, with more than 4 in 10 dissatisfied and roughly 3 in 10 saying they’re angry.
But voters remain generally optimistic, with more than 6 in 10 saying that America’s best days are in the future, and only about one-third that they’re already in the past.
President Joe Biden’s approval rating is underwater nationally, with about 4 in 10 voters saying they approve of his job performance and a majority disapproving.
The US election exit polls captured variations among turnout in various demographic groups, such as men vs women voters or college-educated vs non-college educated voters, and provided insights into how turnout has changed from the previous elections.
One key advantage of exit polls is all the people surveyed, by definition, are people who cast ballots in this election.
