To win the presidency, a candidate needs 270 out of 538 electoral college votes. What exit polls tell us about how people voted
The US exit polls help build a picture of how different groups of people have voted across the nation. Exit poll data is updated throughout the night.
The latest numbers suggest that women broke for Kamala Harris but perhaps not by the margins her campaign had hoped, at 54% compared with 44% for Donald Trump.
In 2020, the exit polls suggested 57% of women backed Joe Biden, which is broadly similar once the margin of error is taken into account.
Looking at race, Trump led among white voters - the biggest single group - and Harris led with black voters.
She was also ahead with Hispanic voters but support for Trump has increased more than 10 points among this group compared with 2020.
In particular, Trump has won a significant increase in support from male Latino voters - up 18 points on 2020.
A majority of younger voters backed Harris while just over half of middle-aged voters voted for Trump, the latest data suggests. The over-65 age group is evenly split.
Nearly six in 10 college-educated voters in the data said they voted Harris, while a similar proportion of people without a college degree voted for Trump.
