NBC News exit polls from Tuesday’s elections showed voters are deeply worried about pocketbook issues and the direction of the country.
Ahead of Tuesday’s elections, Donald Trump assured Americans that prices are coming down, the economy is picking up and the nation is flourishing in ways that make it the world’s envy.
Voters don’t seem to be buying it.
Democrats swept key races, as exit polls depicted an electorate gripped by fears that the U.S. is careening in the wrong direction, far from Trump’s glowing portrait of a nation ascendant.
If the average American voter’s days were filled with lavish dinner parties, golfing trips and vacations where famous people gave them golden trinkets, then I could imagine they would think their country is on a good path.
