AS VICTORY slips further out of sight for Hillary Clinton, her supporters are reflecting the shock and disbelief that many feel across the world.

With many now predicting a likely Donald Trump victory in the US presidential election, no one is more surprised than his Democrat challenger’s most passionate supporters.

Supporters are trailing out of Clinton’s post-election party in New York in tears, news.com.au’s Charlotte Willis reports.

It’s now past midnight and people don’t want to be there when the final announcement comes through. They don’t want to hear her speech.

Some Clinton supporters are too scared to go home, no one wants to get on the subway right now for fear that it will be too chaotic and they will run into rowdy Trump supporters.

An ABC reporter at the venue said the atmosphere was “depressed” and being there was “like covering a wake”.

The photos say it all.
