Analysis of CNN Exit Poll Results from 2016, 2020, and 2024
For understanding trends, the 2024 exit polls include interviews with thousands of voters regarding their political views and demographic profiles.

Despite the Democrats' efforts to mobilize women voters around the issue of abortion, Kamala did not surpass the advantage among women that Biden and Clinton had in previous elections. Trump showed an advantage among Latino men in the 2016 and 2024 elections, as well as a consistent lead among White men. Kamala appears to have been supported by Latina women, as well as by Black men and Black women. A consistent advantage for President Trump is the 18–44 age group, whereas voters aged 45+ seem to have chosen Vice President Kamala. Beyond Trump’s advantage among younger generations, he also appears to have won over new voters who do not typically participate in the electoral process.Source:
