Early exit polls in the US are microcosm of entire race

Early exit polls in the US are microcosm of entire race

No incumbent or incumbent party has won with these kinds of numbers — 72 percent of voters say they are dissatisfied or angry about the direction of the country. And Joe Biden’s approval number is just 41 percent, while 67 percent call the economy bad or poor.

Donald Trump’s campaign has tried to hold Vice President Kamala Harris to that record and explains why, despite all the freight he carries, he is in this race.

But the exit poll also points to a fundamental optimism about the future: 64 percent of Americans think the country’s “best days are in the future,” a stark contrast with Trump’s grinding, dystopian portrait of the nation.

Harris has laid out an agenda that addresses day-to-day economic concerns working-class Americans face.

She also has capitalized on doubts about Trump’s character and motivation. Her argument — that he’ll bring an enemies list, while she’ll bring a to-do list — has been a powerful closing argument, along with abortion rights and democracy.

Will it be enough?
