| Description | Something very unusual by historic standards happened in this year’s election: there were lots more Republicans than Democrats in the electorate.
After the exit polls were reweighted to reflect the final popular vote result, Republicans outnumbered Democrats by 5 points in the AP VoteCast survey and by 4 points in the network exit polls.
