Nobody voting for Trump has democracy as their #1 issue. Or at least hardly anyone. And there will be plenty of people voting for Kamala based on the economy.

In my amateur but informed view, this is "Kamala wins easily" territory. If true. Exit polls aren't great at predictions.

This is hard to say because in their deranged minds a lot of Trumpers think they are saving us from socialism or Marxism. So if you ask them if they care about democracy, they are going to say yes at a rate similar to those who are actually concerned about democracy for the right reasons.

Exactly. Almost nobody is against “democracy” - they just think the other side is the side that is a threat to democracy.

Be careful here - pubs talk all the time about "saving democracy" by crushing communist democrats and other vermin.

I still think abortion is higher, possibly because women are still uncomfortable talking about the issue in public and with pollsters. Also, the issue sort of bleeds over into the "State of democracy" issue. Additionally, abortion probably gets low single-digit support from men.

But I’d bet that few Trump supporters would say that “democracy” is their top priority. It might be 2nd or 3rd on the list, behind the economy—which is supposedly the #1 issue that Trump’s team has been hammering, and is supposedly why most Trump supporters support him.

Let’s not forget, right-wing media has been saying for years that we don’t actually have a “democracy”—we have a “constitutional republic.” So MAGA folks aren’t particularly drawn to—and protective of—the word and concept of “democracy” in the same way that Dems are.

But why?

There's really no reason men would vote more on EDay than Women. I get stats...but why was it statistically spread out in the first place? It's not a D vs R thing

Because men lock their women in the kitchen, amirite?
 
Sorry, tons of data from multiple different exit polls coming at you

Cornell Belcher says early exit polls need to be taken with a grain of salt. John Hieleman was less diplomatic "early exit polls are garbage."

I am trying to not give them too much weight, but hard not to look.
