democratic presidential nominee hillary clinton leads her republican rival by three percentage points nationally as they head into the final day of a tight race for the white house, according to a new poll. 




the final bloomberg politics-selzer & co poll released on monday has clinton ahead of trump, 44 percent to 41 percent. 




libertarian candidate gary johnson was at 4 percent and green party candidate jill stein had 2 percent support. 




clinton also leads trump by three points in a hypothetical two-way matchup when third-party candidates are not included. 




another tracking poll released early on monday also put clinton in the lead. 




the former secretary of state held a four-point lead over the billionaire businessman in the latest abc news/washington post poll. the survey showed 47 percent of likely us voters backed clinton while 43 percent said they supported trump. 




the clinton campaign received a late break with fbi director james comey announcing sunday that no criminal charges were forthcoming in the probe of clinton<u+2019>s newly-found emails. 




<u+201c>based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in july,<u+201d> the fbi chief wrote in a new letter to congressional committee chairmen. 




the development is a major relief to clinton, who is spending the final hours of her campaign trying to close trump<u+2019>s path to presidency. donald trump walks off the stage after holding a rally at loudoun fairgrounds in leesburg, virginia, early in the morning on november 7, 2016.

comey sent the presidential race into a frenzy last month when he sent a letter to congress saying the fbi had discovered emails in a separate probe that could be linked to the investigation into clinton<u+2019>s use of a private server when she was secretary of state. 




the surprise move infuriated democrats and lifted the presidential hopes of trump, who has turned the email controversy into a favorite line of attack against clinton. 




still, trump continued to seize on the email issue, insisting that clinton is <u+201c>guilty.<u+201d> 




<u+201c>hillary clinton is guilty. she knows it, the fbi knows it, the people know,<u+201d> he said sunday at a rally in detroit, michigan. <u+201c>and now it<u+2019>s up to the american people to deliver justice at the ballot box on november 8.<u+201d> 




both clinton and trump plan to spend the last day of the campaign racing across key battleground states that could determine the results of tuesday<u+2019>s election. 




trump will visit florida, north carolina, pennsylvania, and new hampshire and finish the day with a rally in grand rapids, michigan. 




clinton is travelling to pennsylvania and michigan before closing with a midnight-rally in raleigh, north carolina.
