the crowd behind me is staring attentively as nervously at the networks and screen behind me and election returns come in. big shouts of relief when states like california come in or when concession states like virginia come in for clinton. the big states left remaining are too close to call such as michigan are where most of the anxiety where the supporters here today are training their sites. if clinton gets imagine that would be a say of relief rather than a victorious shout. meanwhile at the donald trump event where todd walker s i bet it's a very different environment. todd. >> reporter: it's louder here. they're confident but not as june lent as they were an hour ago when donald trump had a significant lead. i'm hearing more cheers now. they're watching fox news here.

made. but we're also waiting like you said on michigan where trump has a led. pennsylvania where hillary clinton has 100,000 vote lead and states out west that generally go democratic. waiting on washington state. oregon was called for hillary clinton. while they are feeling confident, they cannot declare victory yet. it's a close race and can go either direction. it's much closer than they thought it would be. for hillary clinton supporters, th good. for donald trump supporters they weren't expecting this much so they're feeling more confident than they were early tonight. the mood is better but they know they can't celebrate just yet. back to you. so much more ahead as we continue to monitor the race for president, dr. susan mcmahon nis will join us to talk about the latest news of florida being

z25qmz zy6z y25qmy yy6y race for president not decided. a look at the latest numbers as votes are being counted. donald trump with a lead 49% to

mcmanis. looking ahead what to expect in the morning. let's take a step back. florida being called a short time ago what do we see in the numbers as returning came in. >> first of all it was a 1% election which is what we seen all along. in 2012 it was a 1% e let's be honest. hillary clinton did not do as well as obama in nine of the ten media markets in the state. she only exceeded his miami-dade -- miami-dade. orlando markets trump won. where he piled up votes we hadn't seen ahead of this election was in a lot of the suburban areas. areas where working class and middle class people live with economic anxieties and they turned out to votes at higher rates for him than romney. >> you were thinking the i-4

>> it's almost the barometer for florida. no surprise. i know a lot of viewers will be thrilled to no, no more tv ads but of all the media markets in the country, the two markets that saw the most television ads was number one orlando, number two is tampa. >> and car ads as well. so some returns come in. what states do we need to look at that perhaps will give us a trump or clinton winner? what states do we need to focus on? >> the ones we're looking at closely now would be of course wisconsin and michigan. if he wins one of those two and can pick up nevada and arizona, that's key. he also needs to capture new hampshire and that's not in yet as well but the fact he won

the biggest states that were very, very close. it's really been a nail-biter election. we said all along it's the most unusual election we had in america. this is an election night like we won't forget. i can assure you. >> any surprises as you watch this unfold. you've been doing this three years now. >> i think one thing we realize is polls cannot out. there have been surges in turn outs for demographics and under turn outs n. florida we saw weakness in the mill lennial vote. we saw weakness in the minority vote in terms of turn out. among the latino vote, there was a third of that vote that went for trump. the assumption was all the hype on early voting the latino vote was 100% clinton, that didn't pan out either.

polls wins and trump basically did better at turn out than hillary clinton. >> before folks go to bed tonight as you see all this trending when we wake up, who do you think will be the president? >> it's too soon to call. are you kidding me? of course not. >> i didn't mean to pit you on the into. dr. susan joining us for political analysis. >> clinton including oregon and hawaii and one state just called for donald trump which is north carolina. take a look at the electoral votes here. again they need 270 to win. hillary clinton with 197. donald trump with 216 and we leave you with more local results of the winners and losers so far in the 2016 election coverage. take a look at that and we'll be
