Hillary Clinton maintained her 4-point lead over Donald Trump in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll released Monday afternoon. The results were the same as those from a previous ABC News/Washington Post poll released Monday morning, in which Clinton led Trump 47 percent to 43 percent in a four-way race. In a hypothetical two-way race, Clinton is ahead by 3 points, 49 percent to 46 percent.

Over the course of four months, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have battled it out to the bitter end, the winner of which will only be declared Tuesday night. But the war of political attrition has left Americans feeling rather ashamed, a Wall Street Journal/NBC survey reveals.

President Obama campaigned Monday afternoon in Ann Arbor, Michigan, getting in one of his last few rounds of blistering sound bites against Donald Trump. Watch some choice moments below.

A fun (if not-so-flawless) poll by Bloomberg Politics played the "what if" game with the presidential election and found that if past Democratic and Republican candidates had run against the current nominees, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump might have been clobbered:

Former deep sea treasure hunter Tommy Thompson claims he can't remember the location of valuable gold coins that were once in his possession. But according to a federal judge, Thompson knows a whole lot more than he's letting on.

CNN commentator and Republican strategist Ana Navarro made a dramatic announcement the day before the presidential election: She has voted for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, in her home state of Florida, in order to stop Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is a big believer in unpredictability. It's his strategy for fighting unrest in the Middle East and, you might say, it is a cornerstone of his entire political campaign. But as the clock ticks closer and closer to the United States deciding its next president, Trump is left facing the very real possibility that he might not actually win this round.

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck says he's a changed man. In an interview with The New Yorker, Beck railed on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and sang the praises of President Obama, a man Beck once accused of having a "deep-seated hatred for white people":

At a rally Monday in Sarasota, Florida, Donald Trump got to have some fun with the crowd when it turned out somebody had brought a Donald Trump mask leftover from Halloween.

If Hillary Clinton wins the election on Tuesday night, she won't be starting things off with a bang. New York Police Department officials told Politico that the fireworks her campaign had planned to set off from a barge on the Hudson River — near her planned election night event at the Javits Center in New York City — have been canceled and no permit has been issued for them.

A new national poll by Monmouth University released Monday put Hillary Clinton comfortably in the lead. On the eve of Election Day, Clinton has a 6-point advantage over Donald Trump among likely voters, 50 percent to 44 percent. Though Clinton's latest winning margin is far narrower than the 12-point lead she boasted in the same poll in mid-October, it's an improvement from the 4-point lead she held in September. The RealClearPolitics polling average shows Clinton 2.9 points ahead in the four-way race for the presidency. Читать дальше...

Hillary Clinton donned her white pantsuit and cued the soaring orchestral music for her final ad of the 2016 presidential election. In a two-minute spot set to air Monday night — the eve of Election Day — Clinton makes her case to voters one last time. "Is America dark and divisive, or hopeful and inclusive? Our core values are being tested in this election," Clinton says, speaking directly to the camera.

The Hillary Clinton campaign is bringing out some truly great star power for its final rally on the eve of Election Day. The Clinton campaign announced Monday morning that Clinton will be joined in Philadelphia by President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, along with her husband former President Bill Clinton and their daughter Chelsea — plus rockers Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi.

Nobody thought Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee, least of all Hillary Clinton and her team. In fact, Clinton and her allies had been preparing for a showdown against Jeb Bush since before the 2014 midterm elections, Politico Magazine reports. Trump's candidacy, on the other hand, had long been a joke with the staff, an impossible dream scenario. Until suddenly it wasn't a scenario anymore:

A new batch of state polls out Monday morning shows Hillary Clinton mostly ahead in several key swing states — but often by tight margins.

Days after two of his former allies were found guilty on all counts in the Bridgegate trial, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) insisted the case over the George Washington Bridge lane closures wouldn't put a damper on his political future. "I can't tell you how many times my political career was over. Here I am," Christie said told CBS This Morning in his first interview since the jury passed down the guilty verdict Friday to Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie's former deputy chief of staff, and Bill Baroni...

Power couple Jay Z and Beyoncé campaigned for Hillary Clinton on Friday, and in the ensuing days Donald Trump's camp has worked itself into a frenzy slamming Jay Z's hip hop lyrics and "anti-police" messages.

Though record Hispanic turnout in Florida's early voting may suggest the scales are tipping in Hillary Clinton's favor, Donald Trump's campaign insists the race isn't over till it's over. In an interview with Bloomberg published late Sunday, Trump's digital director Brad Parscale made the case for why the campaign's "large number of persuadable" voters in Florida's Miami-Dade County, for instance, makes the outcome hard to predict. "It will be close," Parscale said. "It's like predicting your wife's mood. Читать дальше...

Will Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump be the next president of the United States? That is the million-dollar question.

When FBI Director James Comey penned a letter to Congress 11 days before the presidential election, he certainly wasn't trying to do Hillary Clinton any favors. The letter, written to inform lawmakers about a cache of emails potentially "pertinent" to the dormant investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server, stalled the democratic nominee's path to victory and breathed new life into the flaming-out bid of her rival, Donald Trump. The damage was done, and Comey received his fair share of criticism. Читать дальше...

It has been a longstanding tradition for news organizations to refrain from reporting Election Day results until after the polls close in their respective states.

The dollar rallied early Monday, gaining more than 1 percent against the Japanese yen after the FBI said its review of newly discovered emails potentially linked to Hillary Clinton's private email server did not change its conclusion that no charges were justified over her handling of government secrets. Comey's announcement that the emails had been uncovered sparked turmoil in the presidential race days ahead of Tuesday's election. The development dragged down markets as investors factored in a greater chance that Clinton... Читать дальше...

Donald Trump's team is reportedly looking at former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus for top spots in his cabinet, aides revealed to NBC News.

Donald Trump was endorsed Sunday by the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville, which said that "Trump, despite all of his faults, is best suited to blow up the inbred corruption of the Washington-New York elites." It was only the second endorsement Trump has received from the 100 largest newspapers in the U.S., along with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, owned by Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson. Even if you include his backing by The National Enquirer tabloid, that's the lowest number of endorsements... Читать дальше...

FBI Director James Comey told Congress on Sunday that a review of new documents linked to Hillary Clinton's email server had not changed the agency's conclusion that there were no grounds for charges over Clinton's handling of sensitive material. The emails were personal, or duplicates of messages already reviewed. Comey told Congress in July that Clinton had been "extremely careless" with her emails as secretary of state, but there was no evidence she intentionally mishandled classified information.
