About this data
Source
The Voter Poll by SSRS, conducted for ABC News, AP, CBS, CNN, Fox News, NBC and MS Now. It blends a large pre-election survey of verified registered voters with in-person interviews on Election Day, then weights to the actual vote. Numbers were copied from ABC News' national Voter Poll page on Nov. 7, 2026, and may still shift as counts finalize.
House popular vote
Unofficial national totals from Popular Vote Analytics, which sums district results published by state election officials. Copied Nov. 10, 2026; ballots are still being counted, so totals will rise. Uncontested races count only the votes cast.
House votes and delegations by state
From the state table on the same Popular Vote Analytics tracker, copied Nov. 8, 2026; the state totals add up to the national figures. Seats are those each party has won so far. Undecided counts seats not yet called (Alaska's at-large seat and one each in North Carolina and Tennessee) and Louisiana's two seats headed to runoffs.
Flipped seats
House flips from CBS News' tracker of districts that changed control; Senate flips from AP results as published by Fox News. Outlets' counts differed slightly while races were still being called (NBC News showed 43 House flips by Democrats).
Senate popular vote
Our own sum of AP returns (as published by Fox News) for all 35 Senate races, including the Florida and Ohio specials. Only 35 states voted, so it is not a national figure. It includes Democratic and Republican candidates and the leading independent in Idaho, Montana, Nebraska and South Dakota, and leaves out minor candidates. Alaska had about 76% of its vote counted.
Who was asked
Some questions went to the full sample and others to about half of it. Each chart shows its respondent count.
Blank values
Where a group had too few respondents, the poll reports its share of the electorate but no vote split. Those rows show no bars.
Verdict chart
Statements are phrased so "agree" is the answer favorable to Trump (for example, "tariffs helped" rather than "hurt"). The pairing of answers is ours; the numbers are the poll's.
Group labels
Some labels are shortened. "Party ID" excludes leaners. "Gender" shows men and women only; about 1% identify another way.
U.S. Senate races
Senate race breakdowns come from the same Voter Poll, copied from ABC News' state Voter Poll pages. Mississippi's Senate race was still too close to call as of Nov. 7. Kansas and South Carolina had smaller samples (about 1,000 respondents each), so more of their groups are too small to report. Most Trump questions in the state polls went to about a third of each sample; each chart shows its respondent count. "2024 vote" is how voters say they voted for president in 2024. The state polls did not ask whether people voted to support or oppose Trump.
