Yes, the presidential race is very close, and some public polls show it getting closer as we go into the final hours, but in one sense it's actually been stable for months.

As one person said to me , Republicans know [Donald] Trump is a stain on their party.

People like Ted Cruz, who has tried to position himself as the best second choice for [Donald] Trump supporters, wouldn't condemn him.

Romney still enjoys the Republicans' traditional advantage among voters who are veterans, but the Obama campaign is confident it can chip away at that.

What does [Hillary] Clinton do if she loses? Concede? Blame the Russians? Or the FBI?

The enthusiasm for [Donald] Trump had gone up. The net result was it made people more supportive of him.

As those states and others in the South and West become more diverse and educated, they will become harder for the Republican Party - in its current form - to win.
