Almost two-thirds of Americans say the country is on the wrong track, a majority disapprove of the job President Trump is doing and more than half do not think the COVID-19 pandemic is under control, according to early data from AP VoteCast.
VoteCast is not an exit poll. It is a massive set of pre-election polls that runs up through when voting closes Tuesday. VoteCast is conducted nationally and in key states and surveys some 140,000 voters. By comparison, a statistically significant and rigorously conducted national poll typically surveys about 1,000 people. We will be updating with results through the night.
Just 37% of Americans said the country is on the right track, while 63% said it’s off on the wrong track, according to the data.
President Trump has a 44% approval rating, while 56% disapprove of the job he’s doing. These are very similar numbers to what Trump has seen throughout his presidency.
When it comes to the coronavirus pandemic, 53% said it is not at all under control.
