U.S. voters go to the polls Tuesday after the most contentious presidential campaign in living memory. As of Monday afternoon, Real Clear Politics’ polling average put Clinton at 47.2% support in the general election, a three point lead over Trump. That gap narrowed considerably in the final days of the race: On October 18, Clinton was at 49% — nearly seven points ahead of Trump.
The first polls closed at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday. Results started rolling in shortly after that.
