CNN exit poll reports that the economy is the most important issue according to voters at thirty-one per cent. Racial inequality is the second biggest issue, at twenty-one per cent, with the Coronavirus sitting in third place at eighteen per cent even in the middle of the pandemic.

The exit poll is based primarily on votes on the day, so will likely be skewed towards Republican voters. It will be updated as the night goes on.
