Opinion polls in the United States continue to tighten just 6 days away from the country's Presidential election.
Hillary Clinton continues to enjoy a narrow lead in several of the crucial battleground states, but Donald Trump is beginning to eat into her lead.
President Obama, campaigning for Mrs Clinton in North Carolina, renewed his argument that Mr. Trump is temperamentally unfit to succeed him in the Oval Office.
But with Democrats under renewed pressure, both campaigns are now spending millions of dollars on a last-minute advertising push to try and persuade wavering voters.

For Hillary Clinton this has been a polling roller-coaster of a week.
Every hour on Wednesday it seemed that fresh surveys were being published…some of them good news for the Democratic candidate….others not.
A poll from the critical swing state of Wisconsin showed Mrs. Clinton holding a 6 point lead there.
In Pennsylvania she's 5 points ahead.
But in Nevada…..5 points behind Donald Trump.
And in the all-important state of Florida, where it increasingly seems this election will be won or lost…it is neck and neck.
And that means Trump supporters like Phil Montalvo, who turned out to see his candidate at a rally in Orlando…can dare to dream.

With national polling moving in Mr. Trump's direction in the days since the FBI reinvigorated the investigation into Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information when she was Secretary of State, the media here is suddenly alert to the possibility of a surprise Republican victory.
The Washington Post published 4 possible paths that could lead Mr. Trump to the White House….but all roads lead through Florida.
Which is why he's spending so much time there….urging supporters not to be complacent about the election's outcome.
AXX
Under pressure, the Democrats are wheeling out every gun they've got….and of course, the biggest gun of all.
AXX
Gone are the days of just 2 weeks ago when Democrats dreamt of expanding the map and turning traditionally Republican states into new Democratic Party strongholds.
Instead, Hillary Clinton is circling the wagons…trying to shore up her vote and prevent any further movement in the polls.
She's turning to TV ads….another $20 million dollar spend was just unveiled….in a bid to persuade waverers to stick with her.
AXX
And while Hillary Clinton has gone negative over Donald Trump's treatment of women….in his last minute advertising buy, Mr. Trump has gone totally negative over her.
AXX
Where does it go from here?
Can he really win?
Is there enough time to eradicate Mrs. Clinton's remaining advantage in the swing states and score the political upset of the era?
The last word goes to a voter we met on Wednesday in Maryland.
