Base notes
NBC page says exit polling was across 45 key states; sample size for the trans items not stated on the page

Sources

Verification note. Totals for both items rechecked by the main session on the live NBC page, 2026-11-06. The page's two columns are the Democratic/Republican House vote within each answer, not party breaks, so none are recorded. Fox News's 'Voter Poll' page (https://www.foxnews.com/elections/polls/voter-poll-results) shows identical totals, and AP describes its AP Voter Poll as the consortium's SSRS survey: treated as one instrument. Field start uncertain (AP: Oct 22; Fox: Oct 19); the end is Election Day.
