What does the 2020 electorate look like politically, demographically and religiously as the race enters its final days?
The U.S. Black population is growing. At the same time, how Black people self-identify is changing, with increasing shares considering themselves multiracial or Hispanic.
124 lawmakers today identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander or Native American, a 97% increase over the 107th Congress of 2001-02.
In battleground states, Hispanics grew more than other racial or ethnic groups as a share of eligible voters.
37% of those ages 18 to 29 say they moved, someone moved into their home or they know someone who moved because of the outbreak.
In 2018, 59% of U.S. adults said there were too few women in high political offices, including 69% of women and 48% of men who said this.
There were 1,501 black prisoners for every 100,000 black adults in 2018, down sharply from 2,261 black inmates per 100,000 black adults in 2006.
At least 20 nations preceded the U.S. in granting women the right to vote, according to an analysis of measures in 198 countries and territories.
Those who have not responded to the census so far are likely to be from groups the census previously has struggled to count accurately.
Attitudes vary considerably by race on issues including crime, policing, the death penalty, parole decisions and voting rights.
