    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.

    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.

    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?

    Andrew Neil anchoring BBC coverage though, he at least knows his stuff on US politics
    And they say they have embeds feeding them stuff from ABC across the square
    BBC cribbing ABCs homework?

    For what it's worth Frank Luntz is getting increasingly bullish about Clinton's chances and believes the Democrats have a serious shot at the Senate. He says it's looking more like 2012 than 2004.

    Not sure what he is seeing that others aren't.

    He seems to have a very good track record.

    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.

    They are also based on tiny returns.

    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).

    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
