ANALYSIS: "He's a pig," says the woman leaving Coral Gables library in Miami where voters have been trickling in all day to cast an early vote for the US election.

She is talking about Republican candidate Donald Trump, the man she just voted for, even though talking about him twists her mouth in anger.

It would be easy to dismiss Trump voters as the "deplorables" - angry, xenophobic and driven by hate.

CARLOS BARRIA/REUTERS According to some polls Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are neck and neck in their race towards the White House.

But this woman is articulate, caring and torn by the choice she had to make.

Like countless others I've stopped at this early voting station, she is not prepared to go on camera for an exit interview.

Tracy Watkins Florida voter Diana Udel says her vote for Hillary Clinton was an easy decision to make.

"I'm too embarrassed," she says. "But I couldn't vote for the other candidate."

Others shuffle past, eyes down, or wave their hands to signal their refusal to talk.

Miami engineer Ada Bill tells me she is furious it came to this.

Tracy Watkins Miami engineer Ada Bill says Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both awful candidates.

"They're both awful," says Bill. "One is awful and the other one is incompetent. Which is worse? I don't know."

But when pressed, Bill concedes; "I think unethical is worse than incompetent."

FRESH ALLEGATIONS ABOUT CLINTON EMAILS



The final stretch in the US presidential campaign has been rocked by fresh allegations about Hillary Clinton's emails - revelations that have energised the Trump campaign and could yet turn this election on its head.



Florida is a crucial battleground and polls show this is one state where Trump has climbed back into contention since the email scandal broke last week.

That has bought Trump and Clinton back to Florida for a huge final push; Clinton has three Florida rallies on Tuesday US time, US President Barack Obama is back for another push, and Trump will pull out all the stops on Wednesday.

But many people have already cast their votes - the Democratic candidate for State Representative in the local county, Daisy Baez, says voters have been pouring in at a rate of up to 2000 a day at this local polling booth alone.

The early votes favoured Democrats, Baez said.

'"It has been very, very strong….in this particular district we are way ahead in Democratic voters, early votes, that is very good news for us. Statewide, it's a lot closer margin. "

UNDECIDED VOTERS 'HOLDING THEIR NOSE'

The New York Times backs her up; at least 21 million people have voted so far across the country. In the states that are most likely to decide the election - among them Florida, Colorado and Nevada - close to a quarter of the electorate has already cast ballots. And registered Democrats seem to have the edge.

But the result could come down to undecided voters - and even Republicans - who had been thinking of holding their nose and voting for Clinton rather than let Trump through.

That may have changed again with the news that the FBI has reopened its investigation into Clinton's use of a private server for tens of thousands of emails while Secretary of State.

Trust has been the big issue in this election; voters don't believe either candidate has earned it.

'THIS HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT CHOICE'

Bill won't say who she voted for - she is "uncomfortable" about putting it out there.

"Hopefully that will help you realise what a difficult choice this has been and how incredibly unpopular both candidates are. The only thing we know for sure is that 98 per cent of us is going to be disappointed on November 9."

But she is angry that the Republican Party allowed itself to be side-swiped by Trump.

"I'm furious at the Republican Party. There were 17 people on that platform and this is what we ended up with. That nobody had the intelligence and foresight and planning to know that this was a possible outcome and we could not have planned against it….. Any one of them, would have been fine. But we had the most incompetent one that came to the top and they couldn't stop him. "

Now Bill is scared that no matter what the outcome, it will change America for worse. That Clinton or Trump could be America's "next Vietnam".

"When I was a child, you would hear of the anger of the 60s and 70s that the country was in when it was so divided over the Vietnam war. And we might have another era of anger and divisiveness and that's what worries me. "

CLINTON? 'IN A WORD, LEADERSHIP'

Diana Udel says she voted for Clinton and it was an easy choice for her to make.

"Why? Truly in a word, leadership. And I just don't think Donald Trump is fit to lead our country` Through the last year just watching, and seeing the behaviour and the dramatics. To me, that's just not what America is about,"

Udel does not think the latest email scandal should unsettle the Clinton campaign.

In her mind, it's not on a par with Trump "cavorting with other leaders of the not so free world."

But like Bill, Udel sees an America that has become more divided over this election.

"People that have a lot of anger, a lot of misplaced resentment, and lack of knowledge of the true history of this country and where we've been and what has built us into the country we are - I think there's a lot of confused people out there, a lot of angry people for whatever reason. Somehow Trump resonates with people that are just not focused on the big picture."

If nothing else, Clinton's experience qualifies her as the candidate more likely to heal the country than Trump, Udel suggests.

But "business as usual" will no longer cut it.

"She's smart enough to recognise the old models aren't going to continue to work.'"

'I HOPE WE'RE NOT A LAUGHING STOCK'

Millennial Claud Lazo says his vote "came down to diplomacy" in the end.

"I went for the candidate who's actually going to improve international relations and not disrupt international relations, as opposed to one candidate which is more agitating, more conflicted when it comes to international policy.

"That's what I considered."

And it seems despite Trump's appeal to voters as the man who will "make America great again", even his fellow Republicans fear the opposite.

Like Bill, whose parting comment is more of a plea, than a question:

"I hope that we're not the laughing stock of the world out of all this."
