Throughout 2024, Gallup's key indicators signaled the election environment was favorable to Republicans.

The economy tops the list of issues that voters say will determine which candidate they support for president.

Although early voting is likely to be down from 2020, over half of U.S. registered voters plan to vote before Election Day this year.

Americans are unhappy with the status quo in key areas of U.S. leadership, suggesting this should be a "change" election. Yet Kamala Harris edges out Donald Trump in favorability.

More Americans are concerned that Donald Trump is too closely aligned with people holding radical political views than are concerned Kamala Harris is.

Majorities of Americans favor election law policies that expand voters' access to the ballot box and limit election fraud.

Donald Trump's and Kamala Harris' favorability scores on a 10-point scale are in the lower range for presidential candidates dating back to 1956.

The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.

Harris' job approval rating surpasses Biden's, including among Democrats and independents. Only 16% of U.S. adults approve of Congress' job.

Four in 10 U.S. voters plan to vote before Election Day, evenly split between those who intend to vote in person and those voting by mail.

Harris is rated better than Trump on certain character aspects, including likability, while Trump leads on dimensions of leadership strength.

Healthcare retains its place as one of the higher-ranking issues voters say are influencing their vote this year.

U.S. voters rate the economy as the most important issue to their presidential vote, with democracy, potential Supreme Court picks and terrorism/national security also ranking highly.

Less than half of voters rate Tim Walz and JD Vance as excellent or good vice presidential choices, similar to recent nominees but subpar historically.

The election trust gap evident in 2016 and 2020 is markedly wider in 2024 as Republicans' faith in the accuracy of the vote has plunged to a new low.

Most key measures of the political environment for the 2024 election favor the Republican Party over the Democratic Party.

Eight in 10 Americans, a new high, perceive the U.S. as being greatly divided on the most important values.

Both presidential candidates continue to be viewed unfavorably by majorities of Americans, similar to patterns in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

A sharp rise over the past decade in young women who describe their political views as liberal, particularly relative to young men, is reflected most prominently in their attitudes on the environment and abortion.

Gallup's Economic Confidence Index improved in August, but inflation and job market concerns persist.
