How exit polls are evolving as more Americans vote early

Season 2026 Episode 224 | 3m 31s

On Election Day, candidates, campaigns and analysts are looking for more than the total number of voters. They also want to know who showed up to the polls and what issues were on their minds. Traditional exit polls are evolving as the way people vote has changed. Deema Zein takes a closer look at some of the data behind the election.
