clinton 54%, trump 42%.any were saying the gap would be bigger than that. >> many did say the gap would be bigger. it was still a gap but it wasn't as big as people were saying it was going to be. and i think, you know, when you look at all of these little pieces it's going to add up to why people were so wrong about this. although, when you look at the polls, the biggest surprise is really wisconsin. so many of the other states were too close to call and trump was ahead in a lot of them. >> we say people said that. not the trump supporters. the trump supporters all along said if he did have more support from women, than what was being reported. >> and they told me, when i would say, we have polls and it says there's a 20 point gap, people would come on twitter and say hey i am a woman for trump and they corrected and they were right. >> so the independents. we talked about this extensively in how the independents would swing the vote. and looking at this, 48% went for trump. 42% for trump i should say and 3

blacks for trump. that's so nice. >> the guy who himself is most often the person you can see holding that sign, the guy we saw get up there and hold that sign behind trump, he has gone by a few names over the years. he now likes to be known as michael the black man. but he is one of the yahweh ben yahweh cult members who was indicted on the conspiracy to murder charges in miami back in the day. the guy holding the blacks for trump sign who you see, that guy there you see at so many trump rallies who the trump organizers keep putting right behind trump at rallies, he was charged with two murders in the yahweh ben yahweh serial murder trial. ultimately he was not convicted but the miami new times points out this was his past. particularly when he gets personally shouted out by donald trump. and oftentimes held up by the conservative media as a sign of real black support for donald trump. they keep pointing him out, pointing out his signs because it's basically their contention that the miami new times i

, not the trump tower.t was the smaller of the two protests, and still in the early morning hours, there was a line of nypd officers, a line of protests around the hotel, a sizable protest, and it's interesting because talking to the protesters, there was a different stance, unified under a common opinion, but some it's about trump specifically, and others what they now perceive to be the trump voter and that represents a majority of the country, and for others, you know, you heard the men saying, rather than forming this opinion of what a trump means, he said the fact that half the country voted or more than half the country voted for him, we have to find out why that is and see if we can come together, and that's what the leaders are trying to portray. we'll see if they can find a way. >> that is the striking thing. you notice all the protests taking place in some of the major cities, here in new york, chicago, seattle, and that shows the divide. not hearing about protests in many of the southern states a

trump as they blocked the entrance of trump tower where the president-elect was set to be home at the time. >> i'm a republican. i'm a woman. protest and i've never felt so passionately about anything being wrong in my life. as a hispanic woman i don't feel safe in this country anymore. >> reporter: in california demonstrators gathered on the 101 in los angeles shutting down the freeway, and in oakland people set multiple fires on city streets forcing police in riot gear to move in and use tear gear. >> i don't want a president that represents everything that's negative about this world. i would rather have a president that's positive and peaceful. >> reporter: and in the nation's capital. [ chanting >> reporter: people gathered in washington, d.c. and marched outside the newly opened trump hotel. >> i come from a family of political refugees from cuba and i'm very grateful to this country for having accepted us. and i'm terrified. >> the raw emotions there, more than 24 hours after those election results and president obama today is welcoming president-elect donald trump to the white

trump. look, he's filling many different positions, chris, over at trump tower we feel as busy as we did when we were winning this campaign as we were, you know, gaming out to win this campaign, bust the blue wall, turn those 197 counties from obama counties to trump counties and grow the party on his terms and his way which he did. i have to tell you we're busier now because transitioning and filling these spots is incredibly important. folks are working 24/7 and that mr. trump also told the "wall street journal" that one of his top priorities as president is to bring the country together. here is what he said in his victory speech. >> for those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, i'm reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country. >> but since the election there have been dozens of some of them violent as you well know across the country. how does mr. trump intend to reach out to the

i think trump can fix this but it is a worrying first sign. >> it is interesting how trump sees -- the way he talked about a lot of the relationships is transactional, opposed to necessarily from a national security standpoint or a historic standpoint. it's about a deal. it's about they are not paying enough. it's not an unfair situation. >> you put your finger on it. the people in europe i talked to, particularly eastern europe say exactly that. they say it seems the president of the united states views the western alliance as a series of transactions. the way we view it is an alliance based on shared values and policies. someone told me poland lost its independence twice and were wiped off the map. for us our security is guaranteed by the words of the american president. that deters russia. they could cross the border easily. what deters them in the sense the west will be united an the sense of unity and steadfastness has traditionally come from the president of the united states. it's interesting to see how merkel responded, the chancellor of germany to the election. she said, you k

trump is an outsider. he surrounded largely by outsider but reince is an insider and will have a republican senate and republican house and going to need someone to guide him so maybe chief of staff. jared kushner, someone rich, successful, the trump whisperer and let's not forget his son-in-law married to ivanka so maybe becomes a senior adviser and kellyanne conway has some type of role in the white house. it is no secret that many people relationship with her. she is much more i'd say pleasant than some of the people trump has surrounded himself with and yesterday he gave her a very big hug up on stage and i think he's been very proud of her and trump will remember that winning team which is kellyanne conway, david bossie and steve bannon. we'll see those two have a role, as well. >> relatively small circle. of course, that state of wisconsin we talked about played such a crucial role in putting donald trump over the top last night. also gave speaker of the hoe mary bruce, the home of paul ryan. mary. s

anthony mason shows us how trump scored his upset. >> reporter: the trump victory was built on several key pillars, scott. trump won men but he also won white women by a similar margin. his greatest strength came from whites without a college degree. he had nearly a 40-point edge among those voters. when we asked voters most important quality they were looking for, number one was a candidate who can bring about change. donald trump won 83% of these voters. now, after the release of the "access hollywood" tape some republican leaders un-endorsed trump and it look liked there didn't happen. he won 81% of conservatives and white evangelicals, nine out of 10 republicans voted for trump. at the same time, clinton under-performed with three key groups in the democratic coalition. she won 55% of young voters but mr. obama took 60% four years ago. she won 88% of african american vote. president obama had 93% in 2012. even with the hispanic vote where early voting suggested new strength f only 65%. mr. obama polled six points higher. in the end, republicans came home. democrats, it seemed, stay

once trump takes office. the president elect took criticism for praising putin on the campaign trail, and the russian leader is looking the two nations have been at odds over russia's role in the syria conflict. me mexico's conflict and the president-elect agreed to meet in the transition period. donald trump promised to build a wall along the border and make men mexico pay for it. they'll discuss the relationship of the two nations, and they spoke in august as trump made a surprise visit to mexico city. >> the election subplot of local kid makes good is playing out thousands of miles away. celebrating melania trump and her new roll come january 20th as first lady. the prime minister tweeted congratulations, and she's the second first lady born outside of north america. louisa adams, wife of john quincey adams, was the first. >> trivia. >> and he's the youngest was in the white house in 1963. >> wow, somebody had presidential facts all lined up. >> maybe. just dropping a little knowledge on you. did i say tha

never trump meant never a president trump. the never trump movement always knew that the verdict on their efforts would be delivered on election night, november 8th. and as of tonight, polling indicates that there could be enough republican voters in the battleground states to give donald trump the presidency. but the never trump movement is on the verge of preventing donald trump from ever spending a night in the white house. yesterday at this hour, we reported that a new tracking survey of early voters in florida shows that 28% of republican early voters in florida are voting for hillary clinton. that is the only tracking survey with actual early voting results in florida. the only one. that same survey combined with likely voter election day polling predicts that hillary clinton will win 48% of the vote in florida to donald trump's 40%. that winning margin would obviously contain a very large republican vote against donald trump. hillary clinton is campaigning in arizona tonight where at this point, four years ago, presiden

trump. record high in number and percentage. the reason is because it was a combination. they knew donald trump respected them. they didn't expect him to sit in the church pew with them. whether they're catholic or evangelical. they consider them a basket of deplorable is. >> remember, mr. trump is not a mormon and that's a big issue for the evangelicals. he doesn't speak to them within a sanctimony. governor huckabee would agree with me. these prayer sessions and prayer meetings and is a compassionate guy, donald trump. for me, i wasn't surprised by that give the thing i was a little surprised by is the inaccuracy of the polling. someone is going to have to answer for that in terms of the sampling and biases that tape placed. maria: you were with him all night. dagen: -- anthony: he was very concerned about that speech. he went through a five or six times. trying to capture the right image of unity of the whole thing. dread every let me point out one thing about hillary clinton who did not

if trump loses tonight, it's not the end of trump. may be the end of the beginning of the trump phenomenon, but the implications will ripple through the republican party. >> it may not be the end of trump, but the question for the republican party is, how do they grab onto those growing voter >> you're right. i have a feeling tonight, as we're looking at the exit polls, we're going to be looking at the cleavages in the electoral along race lines, generational lines, college lines. and republicans tried to draw for votes in shrinking groups of voters. >> okay, thank you all. be coming back to you, as well. got to take another quick break. when we come back, the polls close in north carolina and >>> this is abc news live coverage of election night 2016. here again, george stephanopoulos. >> and we are back now. 7:30 in the east and polls have just closed in three more states. 38 electoral votes in the three states. let's look at the board right now. donald trump has 24 electoral votes clinton, because he's just won the state of west vir
