Yes but there the individual precincts are reporting their results for real. They're very good at calling elections based off that, in fact they have a good idea very early on the night based on the East Coast states but the polling doesn't go that in-depth.

There must by now be polls in many of the states - what are they saying?

Trump is having a hard time putting away heavy red states such as North Carolina which is typically Republican but currently has Clinton ahead and Arizona which is a toss-up.

Clinton is ahead in Ohio, Florida and +9 in Pennsylvania.

If this were election day Clinton could afford to lose Flordia and Ohio and still win comfortably.
