Democracy motivating factor for both Harris, Trump voters in Prez poll

While inflation and immigration emerged as the dominant themes in this year's presidential race, another issue was prominent in the minds of voters for both major candidates: the stakes for democracy. Half of voters identified democracy as the single most important motivating factor for their vote. That was higher than the share of voters who answered the same way about inflation, the situation at the US-Mexico border, abortion policy or free speech, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide. Notably, backers of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, the president-elect, saw the issue from different perspectives. About two-thirds of Harris voters said the future of democracy was the most important factor for their votes. No other topic high prices, abortion policy, free speech or the potential of the first woman to be elected as president was as big a factor for her supporters. Harris especially leaned into this messagi

Here is how five key demographic groups voted in 2024 US Presidential poll

Donald Trump won the presidency after holding tight to his core base of voters and slightly expanding his coalition to include several groups that have traditionally been a part of the Democratic base. That finding comes from AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide that shows what issues mattered to voters in this election. Trump picked up a small but significant share of Black and Hispanic voters, and made narrow gains with men and women. As Trump chipped away at parts of Democrats' coalition, Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't able to make enough of her own gains. Trump succeeded in locking down his traditionally older, white base of voters, and he slightly expanded his margins with other groups into a winning coalition. Here's how five key demographic groups voted, according to AP VoteCast. Most Trump voters were white, a trend that continued from 2020 Slightly more than 8 in 10 Trump voters in this election were white, roughly in line with 2020.
