    You know what Trump may actually have a chance in Virginia.

    In Prince William and Fauquler counties (DC suburbs), he is actually doing quite well, better than Romney.

    He is doing worse in Fairfax, but better in the rest of the state.

    NY Times predicting it is only a 2-3 point margin. Seems small for VA.
    If its' only 2-3 points and not 8 like the CNN exit poll says, then I believe that Trump may do a Falcon worthy of Farage on Referendum night.
    Trump seems to be outperforming the exit polls in most states at the moment, 'shy Trumpers'?
    And he is outperforming them by a lot.

    I think a critical mistake was counting 18-29 year old's as a greater share than over 65's in the exit polls.
    Yes, the US networks better hope this is not their 1992 moment! Clinton is still the favourite but it looks a lot tighter than it did an hour ago

    CNN explaining that Hillary should make up the margin and more in areas to come.

    Should be enough to overcome Marion. Just.

    How do exit polls deal with early voting?

    Pennsylvania might also be up to a shocker, only 3 counties in but Trump is doing much much better than Romney in rural Pennsylvania, in one of them he is up 23% higher than Romney.

    Texas 45% counted Dems ahead. I'd just assumed this was locked in Republican. Is it the Dem. counties early or is this in play?

    Not really, Indiana was about the 6-7th target for the Democrats and they need 4 if Hillary wins to get control. They have gained IL and will get WI almost certainly as well. NH,Missouri and Penn all more likely gains with NC about the same chance as Indiana.

    Yes, but if they are using the <1% figure on their page, surely their model would be expecting a bucket load more Clinton votes to come.

    Is the issue here that the position in every state worsens for Clinton over time as on the day voters get counted? So that even in heavily democrat counties, votes to come may be very close or even favouring Trump?
