If something like a sports match or an election is a cliffhanger, then the result is so close that it cannot be predicted and will only be known at the very end.

If you are close but no cigar, you are close to success, but have not got there.
Close call
If the result of something is a close call, it is almost impossible to distinguish between the parties involved and to say who has won or whatever.

If people try to fix something after the problem has occurred, they are trying to close the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Cloud of suspicion
If a cloud of suspicion hangs over an individual, it means that they are not believed or are distrusted.
Cloud on the horizon
If you can see a problem ahead, you can call it a cloud on the horizon.

If someone is in serious trouble and tries anything to help them, even though their chances of success are probably nil, they are clutching at straws.

If you get cold feet about something, you lose the courage to do it.
