Typically, forecasters and analysts have a pretty good idea which presidential candidate will prevail in the electoral college within a few hours of the final polls closing.

- 65% voted no
- 35% voted yes
Watch for another poll this Friday afternoon that we will follow and review starting at News5 at 4 p.m.
