Early exit polls released on Election Day show many voters unhappy with President Donald Trump and the economy, according to CNN, The Washington Times and TheBlaze. CNN’s preliminary national Voter Poll found roughly three-quarters of voters dissatisfied or worse with the country’s direction, and about 6 in 10 disapproving of Trump’s job performance. CNN also reported that 39% of voters named the economy as their top concern. NBC News exit polling, cited by TheBlaze, found 43% of respondents had a favorable view of Democrats and 38% a favorable view of Republicans. These are early results from exit polls.
