The polls are now open as America moves to elect its 45th president
and the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton remains close.
The investigations
into Clinton's use of a private email server have now been concluded with
no charges to be brought against the Democrat candidate. But the revelations
last weekend have already done enough to give Trump momentum into the final
week.
The news that the FBI had reopened
its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private server last
weekend handed Donald Trump an unexpected boost ahead of the vote.
The FBI obtained a warrant to begin searching newly
discovered emails belonging to Huma Abedin, a top aide of Hillary Clinton, with
Clinton's use of emails also in the spotlight.
It seemed likely that Clinton would have to finish
the campaign with unspecified allegations hanging over her. But
she still retained the lead, according to polling figures,
despite it having been narrowed to within a couple of percentage points.
Yesterday, however, the FBI cleared Clinton of any criminal
wrongdoing, something she will hope will see more voters swing her way in the
polling booths.
Clinton has been ahead almost continuously in the
Telegraph's poll of polls, which takes an average of the last five polls
published on RealClearPolitics.
