The first exit poll data coming out suggests voters have chosen the state of democracy as the most important issue when deciding who to vote for.

Around a third of people asked said it was their top concern, out of the five options given.

The economy ranked second, with three in ten voters choosing it, according to this preliminary data.

We’ll soon get our first exit poll data – giving key insights into the issues that have motivated voters today. The US exit polls don’t predict the result of the election but give insight into opinions and motivations and a breakdown by age, age, gender, education and other demographics.

Podcast host Joe Rogan has endorsed Donald Trump for president, citing Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s arguments as influential. “Musk makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.”

It’s election day in the United States and millions of Americans will head to the polls to cast their ballot for either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump. The polls will start to open at 05:00 ET (10:00 GMT) and results are expected to trickle in over the early hours of Wednesday morning. 

“Then, for more than 90-minutes on Tuesday night, Harris put Trump on the defensive, taunting him about the size of his crowds and pressing him over his shifting positions on abortion.

In the end, she delivered what fellow Californian, the governor Gavin Newsom, described as a “masterclass”.”

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will face-off in a TV Debate on Tuesday. Presidential debates are hugely important in US politics and with recent polling suggesting a really tight race to the White House – Tuesday’s debate will likely prove important.

Both Harris and Trump will set out their vision for the US. It will be hosted by ABC and last around 90 minutes.
