Healthcare and immigration were high on voters' minds as they cast ballots in the midterm elections today, according to a wide-ranging survey of the American electorate conducted by The Associated Press.
AP VoteCast also shows a majority of voters considered President Donald Trump a factor in their votes, though he is not on the ballot anywhere today and doesn't face an election until 2020.
A majority of voters overall say the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Still, about two-thirds say economic conditions are good.
With control of the Senate and the House of Representatives at stake, Trump encouraged voters to view the first nationwide election of his presidency as a referendum on his leadership.

In all, the survey included interviews with more than 113,000 voters nationwide.
