Voters casting midterm election ballots in Georgia are divided over the state of the nation, according to a wide-ranging survey of the American electorate.

As voters cast ballots for governor and members of Congress in Tuesday’s elections, AP VoteCast found that about 4 in 10 Georgia voters said the country is on the right track, compared with about half who said the country is headed in the wrong direction.

Here’s a snapshot of who voted and why in Georgia, based on preliminary results from AP VoteCast, an innovative nationwide survey of about 139,000 voters and nonvoters — including 3,984 voters and 627 nonvoters in the state of Georgia — conducted for The Associated Press by NORC at the University of Chicago.
