After a Democratic campaign blitz across Florida, Donald Trump paid yet another visit to try and sway the crucial swing state in his favour.
"We're doing great in the African American community, we're doing great in the Hispanic community," he told supporters at the first of three campaign stops.
"The polls have just come up, we're way up in Florida!"
But the polls say otherwise. Not only is Trump well behind among non-white voters, his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton is one percentage point ahead of him in Florida.
But the latest national poll by ABC America and the Washington Post has both candidates sitting on 46 per cent each.
This is in contrast to the latest Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll that has
Mr Trump has urged his followers not to get complacent.
"Pretend we're slightly behind," he said. "You gotta get out and vote, we don't wanna blow this."
Mr Trump and his Republican surrogates held campaign events across 10 crucial states. But he's also gaining unwanted attention from white supremacists.
The Ku Klux Klan's official newsletter has given their backing to the billionaire, splashing his campaign slogan "Make American Great Again" across their front page.
Donald Trump has since called the publication "repulsive", saying it did not represent "the tens of millions of Americans" who support his campaign.
In Mississippi there was more bad news, with vandals setting an African-American church on fire and scrawling the words "vote Trump" on its wall.
At her latest Florida rally, Hillary Clinton's speech was interrupted by a heckler who called her husband and former US President Bill Clinton a rapist.
He was immediately escorted out by security, along with these parting words from the Democratic nominee.
"I am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive, dangerous vision and behaviour of people who support Donald Trump," she said before cheering crowds.
Obama responds to FBI email investigation
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has broken his silence about the FBI's renewed investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails.
In an interview with social media website NowThis News, Mr Obama called Mrs Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of state "an honest mistake".
He also appeared to criticise FBI director James Comey's decision to alert congress about the discovery of new emails.
"When there are investigations we don't operate on innuendo, we don't operate on incomplete information, we don't operate on leaks," he said.
"We operate based on concrete decisions that are made."
The presidential election's volatility is also causing waves overseas. Global markets remain jittery, oil prices have fallen, and safe-haven assets like gold have gone up.
German stock analyst Robert Halver said a win for Donald Trump would bring even more uncertainty.
"For a long time we were under the impression Clinton would clearly win the election, which of course would have been good for German investors because it means continuity," he said.
"But with Trump nobody knows what he will do."
