Voter poll: What have US voters named the top issues at the midterms?

The economy and the state of democracy have been named as the top issues for US voters, according to an election day poll.

The survey – officially called the Voter Poll – asks tens of thousands of the American electorate their opinions and motivations, and providing a breakdown by age, gender, education and other demographics.

Polling company SSRS collects data on behalf of a consortium of news companies, and the survey is a representative sample of American voters in the run up to the election, and includes exit polling of both early and on the day voters.

Here are some of the breakdowns from the 2026 voter poll. Like all surveys they are estimates; the numbers are also likely to be updated as more data arrives.
