All of the polls — FiveThirtyEight, The Upshot, and beyond — told us this race wouldn't even be close. That it'd be called early. That Hillary Clinton would become Madam President.

But then, he pulls ahead by over a percentage point in Florida, and you start to panic.
Meanwhile, Red State by Red State comes in — Kentucky, Arkansas, and beyond — and you grow anxious.
Virginia, all of a sudden, becomes a battleground? When it really was supposed to be in the bag for Hillary.

You will FIGURE IT OUT.
But wait — The New York Times is predicting a Trump win again.
The anxiety starts from the beginning of the cycle.
