Exit poll: voters prefer chance for legalization to deportation
Immigration is one of the key issues this election, and according to Fox’s exit poll on the national level, majority of voters (56%) prefer that immigrants be given a chance to obtain legal status to resorting to deportation.
Exit poll: violence asked and expected
The fact that CBS News' exit poll asked voters specifically about the prospect of violence related to the US presidential election should concern everyone, no matter what part of the political spectrum you sit on.
This is the first time in history, which dates back to the 1970s, that it was even felt needed to ask.
And around 70% of voters questioned do expect said political violence. That figure applies to Republicans and Democrats.
Exit poll: economy tops it for Fox
Fox News has issued its first exit poll in which voters said their top issues were the economy (39%), immigration (20%) and abortion (11%).
Exit poll: democracy, economy, abortion
We knew they were going to be important topics and the candidates targeted their messaging appropriately (or not, in some cases) throughout the campaign.

Americans "dissatisfied"
While I'll continue to repeat that this is early exit poll data, the expected "dissatisfaction" and "anger" is being pulled through from voters.
Chris Wallace says it would be "a miracle" if Harris wins "with that kind of headwind," adding that it "would be a remarkable job."
Exit poll: NBC has Trump ahead in NC
According to an exit poll by NBC News, Donald Trump holds a lead of 51% over Kamala Harris's 47% in North Carolina, another one of the key battleground states we've talked about.

Michigan: Kamala Harris 61% – 35% Donald Trump
Wisconsin: Kamala Harris 60% – 38% Donald Trump
Pennsylvania: Kamala Harris 57% – 40% Donald Trump
These figures suggest a significant advantage for Harris in these pivotal states. However, it's important to note that exit polls are preliminary and may not fully represent the final vote counts. Official results will be confirmed as all ballots are counted.

Swing states: when to expect a result in 2024
Thanks to some excellent work at the NYT, the following provides a decent guide to when we may be able to paint a clearer picture of the battleground states:
Georgia: Fast count, typically. 94% of votes counted by midnight in 2022; watch the margins for early clues.
North Carolina: Quick results with new counting rules, though initial votes may take a bit longer.
Pennsylvania: Likely to take beyond election night. Improved from 54% counted by midnight in 2020 to 87% in 2022.
Michigan: Could be faster this time; only 51% counted by midnight in 2020, but reforms may speed it up.
Wisconsin: Expect most counts by Wednesday. Progressed from 71% in 2020 to 86% by midnight in 2022.
Arizona: May take several days; mail-in ballots require time to process.
Nevada: Also could take days. Postmarked ballots accepted up to four days post-election, though new tech might help speed things up.
