Exit polls from the 2024 presidential election

Nationally, over half of men supported Trump, and just over half of women supported Harris. That pattern was similar in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Nationally, roughly 1 in 10 voters were Hispanic, a similar share as in 2020, according to network exit polling. Harris won a slight majority of Hispanic voters nationally, significantly underperforming Joe Biden’s 33-point margin in 2020.

Seven in 10 Hispanic voters nationally rated the economy as either “not so good” or “poor,” and a slim majority of those who did supported Trump. Roughly 4 in 10 Hispanic voters also said the economy was their top issue, and these voters preferred Trump over Harris by more than a 2-to-1 margin.

Across most key swing states, Harris underperformed with Hispanic voters relative to Biden’s performance in 2020 to varying degrees.

In Michigan, Harris’s support among Hispanics plummeted 18 points from where Biden’s support among the group was in 2020. Her support dropped off from Biden’s by 14 points in Nevada. In Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Arizona her support dropped off between 7 and 10 points from Biden’s. But in Wisconsin and Georgia, Harris’s support among Hispanics was similar to Biden’s 2020 support.

According to exit polling, 1 in 7 voters were between the ages of 18 and 29 nationally, and they supported Harris over Trump by 11 percentage points. In 2020, President Biden won the age group by a 24-point margin.

However, Harris performed better among voters 65 and older than Biden did four years ago: They split their votes roughly evenly this year. Trump won this group by a five-point margin in 2020.

Trump performed especially well among younger voters in Michigan and in North Carolina, where he and Harris roughly split the under 30 vote. Harris won the support of about 6 in 10 voters under 30 in Georgia, but lost to Trump by a similar margin among Georgia voters 65 and up.

Trump won the votes of a majority of White voters across the country, according to exit polling. But, as in the past several presidential elections, the patterns of support among White voters have been very different for those with and without college degrees.

White voters without a college degree continue to be one of Trump’s strongest groups — two-thirds of these voters cast their ballots for Trump, about the same as his support among the group in 2020.

By comparison, a narrow majority of White college graduates — who made up a third of voters overall — voted for Harris. In 2020, White college graduates were nearly split in their vote preferences: 51 percent voted for Biden, while 48 percent voted for Trump.

Harris performed particularly well among White women with a college degree. Nationally, nearly 6 in 10 White women with a college degree voted for her, including similar shares in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

More Hispanic men supported Trump this year than in 2020, according to exit polls. While 36 percent of Hispanic men voted for Trump in 2020, that grew to 54 percent in 2024. Trump’s support among Hispanic men was bolstered in states such as Texas and Florida, where Hispanic men accounted for more than a tenth of the electorate. In both states, nearly 2 in 3 Hispanic men backed the former president.

Harris also underperformed among Hispanic women. In 2020, nearly 7 in 10 Hispanic women backed Biden; this year just under 6 in 10 Hispanic women supported Harris.

In Florida, Trump’s support among Hispanic voters was split by family origin. Roughly 7 in 10 Cuban Americans backed the former president, while a slim majority of Puerto Ricans supported Harris.

Black women and men continue to overwhelmingly support the Democratic nominee in this presidential election. This year and in 2020, roughly 9 in 10 Black women backed Harris and Biden, respectively. Although Democratic Party leaders expressed concern about Harris’s pre-election poll numbers among Black men, this group continued to support Harris at similar levels when compared with previous presidential elections. In both 2024 and 2020, just under 8 in 10 Black men supported the Democratic presidential nominee.

In Michigan, Harris performed better among Black men; 86 percent of Black men in Michigan voted for Harris according to exit polls, nearly matching her share of Black women’s support in that state (88 percent).

According to exit polls, Catholic voters supported Trump over Harris by a 20-point margin. In 2020, Catholics backed Biden, who would become America’s second Catholic president, by a five-point margin. In both years, just over 1 in 5 voters were Catholic.

Other religious groups were more similar to 2020. About 6 in 10 Protestants supported Trump over Harris, and they made up 43 percent of the electorate. About a quarter of voters reported no religion, and they supported Harris by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, even wider than Biden’s 2020 margin.

Trump’s strongest religious group were voters who identified as White born-again Christians, who represented about 2 in 10 voters. In all, 82 percent of them supported him nationally, larger than his 76 percent support in 2020.

In an election marked by union firsts, including the head of the Teamsters addressing the Republican National Convention for the first time, union voters are a key voting block.

In Ohio, union households made up 1 in 6 voters, according to exit polling, and over half supported Trump. In the Keystone State of Pennsylvania, 2 in 10 voters similarly came from union households, and a majority of them supported Harris.

More than half of Pennsylvania’s union households also backed Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, according to exit polling. In Ohio, about 6 in 10 union households supported Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, who lost his reelection bid to Republican Bernie Moreno.

In Michigan, more than 1 in 5 voters came from union households and 57 percent of this group supported Harris, down slightly from Biden’s 62 percent support in 2020.

Nationally, union households also made up about 2 in 10 voters, and a small majority backed Harris.
