Exit poll: Obama more in touch
AP
Fifty-two per cent of voters said President Barack Obama is more in touch with people like them, compared to 44 per cent for Republican Mitt Romney.
About four in 10 voters said the US economy was getting better, while three in 10 said it was getting worse, and three in 10 said it was the same.
Exit polls also showed that just under 50 per cent of voters favoured repealing some or all of Obamacare. Forty-three per cent preferred that the health care law be expanded or left as is.
Only three in 10 voters said that most illegal immigrants working in the US should be deported, while nearly two-thirds said such people should be offered a chance to apply for legal status.
Results are from a national exit poll by the television networks thorough a survey of 19,728 voters by Edison Research
