America's Presidential Election - What is The Results?
US citizens have gone to the polls to decide if they want Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to be their next President.
The Democrat and Republican candidates to succeed Barack Obama have racked up some serious miles in the final days of the campaign as they try to win over voters in the swing states.
A week ago, Hillary Clinton was riding a seemingly unassailable lead in the national polls.
But her lead shrank dramatically - it could even be within the margin of error - after the FBI announced they were investigating more emails. But she received a late boost ahead of polling day when she was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.
Polls on the eve of the elections put Hillary in front, although Trump appeared to have the edge in the key state of Ohio. But only time will tell who Americans have chosen as their next President.
Donald Trump won the key swing states of Florida, North Carolina and Ohio early this morning, giving him a clear path to the White House.
The Republican surpassed expectations and confounded pollsters in Florida, where Hillary Clinton had been expected to win following a surge in the Hispanic vote.
Mrs Clinton managed to win the battlegrounds of Virginia and Colorado, but she needed to take Michigan, Nevada, Iowa and Pennsylvania to revive her chances.
With three days to go, Hillary Clinton is holding onto a single point lead over Donald Trump in the latest nationwide head-to-head Fox News poll.
When third-party candidates are included in the poll, her lead extends to two points - but that’s still within the margin of error.
The same poll a week ago showed her five points in front in the head-to-head.
Meanwhile FiveThirtyEight’s analysis of the national polls shows Clinton’s lead stabilising after a run of polls showing a decreasing lead.
That’s echoed by TalkingPointsMemo’s national poll tracker, which shows a slight increase in her lead to 2.4 points.
At the West Side's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (655 W 34th St.), the Hillary for America Election Night Event kicked off at 6 p.m. ET and was open to the public. The Democratic nominee set the stage for her election night speech under a symbolic glass ceiling within the six-block fortress, a nod to her potential to make history as the first female president of the United States. She had initially planned to set off fireworks over the Hudson River, but the show was shot down by the NYPD.
Over at the New York Hilton Midtown (1335 Ave of the Americas), only a few blocks from his Trump Tower, the Donald J. Trump Victory Party opened its doors at 6:30 p.m. Trump and running mate Mike Pence are hosting an invite-only gathering for friends and supporters of the campaign, a divergence to the GOP candidate's usually large rallies. Trump admitted on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning that he is "a little superstitious," something a Washington Post source cited as the reason behind the low-key event.
