Pollster Nate Silver is already predicting a comeback from Democrats in 2028, pointing to “hidden good news” for the party in this year’s election results despite President-elect Donald Trump’s win.

But Trump made headway among Black male voters that proved detrimental to the vice president's bid, argued Alvin Tillery, a Democratic pollster and founder of the Black Equality Alliance super PAC.

Abortion did matter to women, it just didn’t matter enough, said Evan Ross Smith, a pollster and campaign consultant.

“The overwhelming lesson of this election was that a large majority of white men and white women voted to elect Donald Trump. That is the headline,” Matt A. Barreto, a pollster and advisor to the Harris-Walz presidential campaign, wrote in an email.

“They failed to see his inability to step up his game,” said James Zogby, a Democratic pollster.
