The first US exit poll is out: Women voted at a higher rate than in 2024

The first exit poll from Edison Research is out and it focuses on the demographics of voters:

• 53% of voters women vs 52% in 2020
• 45% said personal finances were worse than 4 years ago vs 20% in 2020
• 31% said economy mattered most for their vote, 11% immigration, 14% abortion, 35% democracy, 4% foreign policy
• 44% view Trump favorably vs 46% in 2020
• 48% view Harris favorably vs Biden at 52% in 2020
• Pennsylvania poll shows 46% view Trump favorably vs 48% in 2020
• Pennsylvania: 46% viewed Harris favorably vs 50% for Biden in 2020

There are a lot of numbers here and you can spin them either way. I haven’t seen any notable market reaction.
