The state of democracy and the economy in the United States were the top issues on the minds of voters as they cast ballots in the 2024 presidential election, according to preliminary results from the NBC News Exit Poll.
Thirty-five percent of voters said democracy mattered most to their vote, while 31% said the economy. Abortion (14%) and immigration (11%) ranked as the next-most important issues, while just 4% named foreign policy.
Men and women both said the state of democracy was their most important issue, followed by the economy. Two in 10 women said abortion was most important, compared to 8% of men. Immigration was ranked slightly higher among men (12%) than women (10%). Foreign policy lagged behind as a priority for both groups.
The exit poll results can shift throughout the night as more interviews are conducted and more vote is counted.
All told, the mood of the country is pessimistic: About three-quarters of voters nationwide feel negatively about the way things are going in the country, with 43% saying they're dissatisfied and 29% saying they're angry.

B.S.
The exonomy at 11% and “democracy” at 35% who’d they interview? Team Kamala?
Well, that’s not an exactly glowing report on the state of things under Biden/Harris.
“democracy” at 35%”
and 90% of them have no idea the definition of democracy.
Everywhere i go (especially the market) all that anyone can talk about is democracy. (extreme sarcasm)
Problem is most blame Biden and have been hoodwinked in to believing SHE! Is an outsider.
Well TBF I have my own concerns about democracy. Just not the same ones the left has.
The Iowa poll that had Harris at +3 also reported that democracy was the leading concern.
This is coming out of nowhere. The economy and immigration have always been high on the list of concerns. I’m thinking these are some kind of push polls that are specifically asking voters about democracy and not letting voters list their own concerns.
They are voting for a candidate they didn’t get to choose while expressing fears Trump will destroy Democracy.
This is the kind of open ended question that tells us nothing. Like the abortion question. There will be people of various leanings who think the 'other side' is out of their minds. If you asked me if I feared for Democracy I'd say "yes, if the Democrats keep any power at all!". But I think it's meant to convey fear of Trump.
Actually, “democracy” IS my personal number one issue. I am 100% worried that our democracy as embodied in our Constitutional Republic will be obliterated by the Deep State if Kamala and her handlers steal this election.
However, I doubt that is what the exit poll interviewers were talking about.
SURE they did.
Everyone I know lies around thinking about "the state of democracy".
NEVER about the price of gasoline, groceries or their bills. /s
Democracy is 3 wolves and a sheep voting on WHO is for dinner.
We never were a democracy. Democracies convert to Communism.
FTTW
Real Clear Politics has Harris/Walz 37.4% Trump/Vance 61.1%
I dont know where they are getting that, but if true it’s looking good. I think this is going to be too big to rig for the commies, toooooo bad!

NBC is well known for their integrity and impartiality. Why would they lie about an exit poll?
Don’t forget, though, that Dempcrats are the main threat to Democracy.
Oh please. People are concerned about “democracy?” NBC knows that inflation and the border are huge issues that obviously reflect badly on Harris/Biden, so NBC has to push “democracy” to try to gaslight.
