National Exit Polls: Election 2024 Results

Key Takeaways

Senate Results

Democrats defied expectations, gaining two seats in the Senate. The party now holds a 52-48 majority, giving them a comfortable margin to pass legislation.

The biggest upset came in Pennsylvania, where John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate, defeated incumbent Republican Pat Toomey by a narrow margin. Fetterman's victory was a major boost for Democrats, who had been struggling to gain traction in the state.

Democrats also picked up a seat in Arizona, where Mark Kelly defeated Martha McSally in a rematch of their 2020 race. Kelly's victory gives Democrats a strong foothold in a state that has been trending Republican in recent years.

House Results

Republicans regained control of the House, but with a slim majority of 223-212. The party flipped 11 seats, while Democrats lost 10.

The biggest surprise came in New York, where Republicans picked up four seats, including one in a district that had been held by Democrats for decades.

Republicans also made gains in Florida, where they flipped three seats, and in Texas, where they picked up two.

Presidential Race

The presidential race remains too close to call, with both candidates within the margin of error.

Joe Biden, the incumbent Democratic president, is slightly ahead in the popular vote, but Donald Trump, the Republican challenger, is leading in the Electoral College.

The race is expected to come down to a handful of key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
