With just hours to go before America goes to the polls to
elect its 45th President, the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
remains as close as well.
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 RealClear Politics(RCP).
