Hello darkness my old friend: Familiar unease starts to spread as pollsters proved wrong

No one thought this could happen twice, yet the numbers are not supporting what the pollsters had said.

A familiar unease has spread across the US after early voting suggests the pollsters could have been way out in predicting a Joe Biden landslide in this year’s election.

“Too close to call” was the message from several key states, which could take days to return a definitive result in what seems like a neck-and-neck contest.

Wisconsin says there’s no way they are announcing a winner tonight, Michigan needs until Friday and Pennsylvania isn’t coming out anytime soon, either, Bloomberg’s Saleha Mohsin is reporting.

Florida, seen as a potentially pivotal state, looks to have plumped for Trump with the Democrats flopping in Miami-Dade.

Hilary Clinton won it with 64 per cent of the vote in 2016, Biden is currently running significantly behind that.

With a long way to go and all outcomes – including a tie – still on the cards, here’s some of the early reaction from the US:

Here's one you wouldn't expect: President Trump is doing better this year than he did in 2016 in counties with high COVID-19 death rates. pic.twitter.com/IYjbgjM3lu

An ominous sign for Biden in Pennsylvania: Trump running ahead of his 2016 performance in Trumbull County (Warren, near Youngstown and on the west PA border) with nearly all of the vote counted

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
