But voters remain generally optimistic, with more than 6 out of 10 saying America's best days are in the future and only about a third that they are already in the past.

CNN exit polls are a combination of personal interviews with election Day voters and personal interviews, telephone and online polls measuring the views of early voters and those missing by mail.
They were carried out by Edison Research on behalf of the National Election Group. Personal interviews on Election Day were conducted in a random sample of 279 locations.
The results also include interviews with early voters and those in absence conducted between October 24th and November 2nd, personally in 27 early polling, telephone or online. The results for the total champion of 16,604 respondents have an error margin of plus or minus 2 percentage points; it's larger for subgroups.
