The November 2024 presidential election will likely be one of the most consequential in the history of the United States.
The latest Gallup poll suggests it could be a high turnout year. Seventy-one percent of Americans say they have given “quite a lot” of thought to the upcoming presidential election. That's on track with 2020, and higher than in previous presidential election years.
Americans who identify with either of the major political parties are highly engaged this year, with 84% of Democrats and 78% of Republicans saying they have given the presidential election a lot of thought. Independents were less likely to be thinking about the election, at 61%.

Who We Are
Public Matters is an initiative of KPBS, inewsource and Voice of San Diego.
These three independent, non-profit journalism organizations are sharing content, conversation, and events that ensure all San Diegans understand their opportunity to participate in the democratic process and that it means more than voting in an election.
At its core, it is about reminding us that we have a shared humanity, and together we are empowered to make positive change.
Public Matters will lead up to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026.
