Voting day is finally over, with Americans coming out in record numbers to choose their next president. Coming in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 election has seen a whopping 100 million Americans cast their votes early, even surpassing pre-election totals in 2016.

For Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the two men in the hot seat, this is perhaps their last shot at this all-important job. They will both be the oldest president ever to lead the nation, with a long and challenging task to rebuild the crumbling economy. For now, though, their fate hangs in the balance as the numbers start to trickle in. Will it be an easy sweep or a tight race? Will the Democrats continue to dominate the cities and Republicans the rural towns?  The next few hours or perhaps the next few days will surely tell. Meanwhile, Piplsay polled 8000 Americans nationwide to get a sense of the early trends. Here is a summary of what we found:
