Latest poll numbers show unexpected shifts in US presidential race outcome

The latest presidential election ended with Donald Trump defeating Kamala Harris in a contest that brought him back to power after a four-year break

The exit-poll data shows some eye-catching shifts in voter support (specially among key demographic groups). Hispanic men showed a big jump in support for Trump‚ with 54% backing him — thats an 18-point rise from last time; while younger voters aged 18-29 gave him 42% support

Here are the main factors that influenced voters choices:

• Economy: 31% said it was their top issue
• Democracy health: 35% named it as primary concern
• Immigration: 11% considered it most important
• Abortion rights: 14% picked this as key factor

The financial well-being data paints an interesting picture — about half of voters say their situation got worse in past four years‚ while just a quarter report improvements. Democracy remains a hot-button issue: 73% of Americans think its under threat

Looking at education-based splits‚ Trump got strong backing from non-college graduates (54%); while Harris did better with degree holders. The racial breakdown shows some movement too — Trump kept his support among Black voters steady at 12%‚ but made gains with Hispanic voters overall

The gender gap stayed notable: women favored Harris by 54%‚ while men leaned towards Trump. Age-wise‚ voters under 45 preferred Harris‚ but those over 45 backed Trump

These numbers come from Edison Researchs exit polling (which covers both early and election-day voters). The data might shift as more responses come in throughout the night
