Latest Pennsylvania poll shows unexpected shifts in voter preferences

Recent exit-polls in pennsylvania show key shifts in the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump (conducted by Edison Research on nov-5)

The data highlights voters main priorities:

  • State of democracy: 33%
  • Economic matters: 30%
  • Abortion rights: 15%
  • Immigration policy: 12%
  • Foreign affairs: 3%

Economic well-being changed drastically — half of pennsylvania voters say their finances got worse since last election while about 1/4 stayed the same. A striking 73% of voters think US democracy isnt secure

Demographics show interesting patterns: non-college educated voters make up 59% of turnout (similar to previous election). The gender split remains steady with women at 53% and men at 47%. Race distribution shows white voters at 83% — a bit higher than last time

Both candidates face mixed reactions: Trump and Harris got almost equal favorable ratings hovering around 46-47%. The unfavorable numbers dont show much difference either

The poll data shows ethnic-gender breakdown changes — white men increased to 40% of voters while black men dropped to 3%. Hispanic voters stayed mostly unchanged at around 5%. These numbers might shift as more data comes in through the night

Exit-polling gives good insight into voter thoughts but remember: its just a snapshot of the bigger picture in battleground states that will decide this race
