All eyes are on a handful of battlegrounds where polls have closed but the presidential contest is either too close or too close to call: Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Any of those states could be decisive in the fight for the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
Here's the current tally, according to NBC News projections:
Clinton wins: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington, D.C.
Trump wins: Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska (four of five electoral votes), North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Too close to call: Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Too early to call: Arizona, Colorado, Maine, Missouri, New Mexico and Wisconsin.
Democrats and Republicans are also battling for control of the Senate. Democrats must net four seats to earn the majority. Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives, NBC News projects.
As millions of Americans cast their ballots Tuesday, early exit polls showed that large majorities of voters had an unfavorable view of both Trump and Clinton.
Inside the Election Night parties
About six in 10 voters — 61 percent — said they had an unfavorable view of the real estate mogul, while only 37 percent viewed him favorably. A majority of voters — 54 percent — said they had an unfavorable view of the former secretary of state, and another 44 percent viewed her favorably.
The numbers appeared to underscore one of the driving themes of an unusually divisive campaign: Both candidates are astoundingly unpopular.
Heading into Election Day, Clinton held a narrow advantage, leading Trump by 4 points in the last NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken before Tuesday. If elected, Clinton would become the first woman Commander in Chief.
Trump, the brash political outsider, is trying to shatter expectations and mount a stunning upset. But his path to the 270 electoral votes appears to be narrow. Clinton, the former New York senator and first lady, has multiple routes to the magic number.
