Polling data you can trust
Rely on the research that explains not just who wins on Election Day, but why. For more than a century, AP has tabulated election results and declared winners. Now, with AP VoteCast, we also offer customers access to the polling data that informs our race calls and provides newsrooms with a more accurate and robust portrait of the American electorate than ever before.
AP VoteCast isn't an exit poll. It's better.
