    Early numbers would seem to favour Trump, but these are all rural areas so far. Still, Trump has made progress relative to Romney everywhere.

    First 3 counties from Indiana Trump overperforming Romney by a swing of 10 and 16%, and exactly the same as Romney in the third.

    Average swing 8.7 so far in Indiana.

    FPT

    Hillary is back to where she's been all day with Sporting on 305-315 ECVs.

    The fun's all over folks - she's going to win comfortably within 10 points either side of this spread I would suggest, i.e. between 295 - 325, although I would favour the upper end.
    Time to go to bed I fancy and hopefully have some profits to collect in the morning.

    First 3 counties from Indiana Trump overperforming Romney by a swing of 10 and 16%, and exactly the same as Romney in the third.

    Average swing 8.7 so far in Indiana.

    Given that Pence is Governor of Indiana the Trump/Pence ticket was always likely to perform better in that particular state. Swings from 2012 therefore don't tell as much as you are implying.

    First 3 counties from Indiana Trump overperforming Romney by a swing of 10 and 16%, and exactly the same as Romney in the third.

    Average swing 8.7 so far in Indiana.

    Given that Pence is Governor of Indiana the Trump/Pence ticket was always likely to perform better in that particular state. Swings from 2012 therefore don't tell as much as you are implying.
    Good point.

    I'm watching MSNBC: what's everyone else watching?

    CNN.

    What's MSNBC like? I fancy a G&T and a change
    CNN's very good...the British TV news channels are awful
    Is there an online "Live Stream" for CNN?
    live streams of US CNN and Fox

    Why is New Hampshire a swing state as opposed to the rest of New England?

    Very Libertarian in outlook.

    State motto: Live free or die.
    You beat me to it :)

    Maine has also been a little swing state-ish this time.

    Both states have very high white working-class populations (whereas most of the other northeastern states either have big minority populations, big educated white populations, or a very left-wing culture in the case of Vermont).

    BBC says George W and Laura Bush did not vote for either Trump or Clinton

    If the rest of the country follows their lead everything will be alright.

    Trump still outperforming the Republican Senate candidates in Kentucky and Indiana. Could be the most significant thing from the results so far.

    Early numbers would seem to favour Trump, but these are all rural areas so far. Still, Trump has made progress relative to Romney everywhere.

    He's doing worse than Romney in Franklin so far.
    James Carville said, basically that the US divides into three roughly equal groups:

    White, no college education
    White, college education
    Non-white

    His view is that Trump is winning W (NC) by a mile, while Clinton has a similar share of non-white voters.

    College educated whites went for Romney marginally in 2012. This time?
    According to MSNBC he is winning college educated whites by 1%.

    Most polls had Trump losing that category.
    That sounds about right.

    It's very close right now, but we'll have a better idea in 21 minutes :)
    What happens then? Also are they not concerned about exit polling results coming out whilst the West is still voting?
    I think that always happens in the US. To be honest their whole Election Day system seems to be a bit shambolic

    White voters down from 72% to 70%. Not exactly the huge drop we've been led to believe.
