I will say my state is looking more Pro-Trump, but we're not really a swing state anyway.
Yeah, that is a difficult indicator because the votes aren't actually being counted, yet. I think it was Florida, specifically, that they were talking about (I listen to NPR at work, so I probably heard the same thing, but it doesn't get my full attention) but I could be wrong. It also isn't taking into account those voters not identifying with a particular party.
Either way, this is going to be a closer race than a lot of people were thinking, including myself. The trend on the likelihood of winning percentage has been getting closer at a much quicker pace than I expected. The trend after the first debate is damn near circular.
