Americans to elect a new President today

The United States will elect its next President today and while four candidates are on the ballot in most states only two have a viable chance of winning enough electoral college votes to replace President Barack Obama in the White House. National polls have Democratic Hillary Clinton maintaining a three to six point advantage over Republican nominee Donald Trump while the candidates and their surrogates have spent the last weeks of this campaign, barnstorming the all important battleground states that will determine the outcome of today's poll.
