Exit polls help us better understand who came out to vote, how different groups of people voted and how they feel about some of the biggest issues of the campaign.

Preliminary results of the Pennsylvania exit poll appear in favor of Harris, according to CBC News. With about 7.6% of the expected votes counted, Kamala has secured a 73.1% majority.
