fivethirtyeight FORECAST BOT 10:35 PM
Clinton wins Virginia. Our model now gives her a 52 percent chance of winning the election.

They could have easily won this with a half decent candidate with less baggage. The insistence on running her again is leading to this.

Sanders must be pissed right now.

Nate Silver: ABC News just called Virginia for Clinton, which improved her odds in our forecast. As a reminder, though, Clinton’s problems aren’t in the called states so far — they’re in the numerous uncalled states where Trump is either favored with most of the vote in (as in Florida) or states like Michigan where pre-election polls favored Clinton but the actual result is now too close to call.

538 has North Carolina back to 50/50 which gives her the edge.

She could have hated immigrants.

The only thing that bothered me about her was some of her mannerisms
I don't know why, but things like this rub me the wrong way
Of course, not nearly enough to have thought favourably of Trump

I don't think it's because she's a women. It's how unlikable she is. Is that related to her being a women? Maybe, but I don't think you can be attacked for the last 25 years and it not leave damage

I find that more and more, polls seem to be getting less accurate. Not sure the reasons for it. Maybe relying on online data too much?

Many millions of Americans who voted for Obama in the last election voted for Trump today.

If Trump holds on in Michigan and Wisconsin, there is no path for Clinton. (There's only a small one if he wins one of them.) - Harry Enten

So I bet Kasich wishes he'd taken that "you get to run foreign and domestic policy" VP spot right about now...

Wisconsin not looking good. Even if she wins Michigan she then needs Arizona.

Polling was accurate here. Clinton by 1.5 in the popular vote is pretty close to Clinton by 3.5.

I think that's right, and I also think if he wins one of them he wins both.
