US election 2020 live: Three people shot after dispute over stolen election signs

Three people have been hospitalised with "serious" gunshot wounds following a dispute over missing pro-Trump signs.

Welcome back to our live coverage of the US presidential election campaign.

We are two days away from the election, and Donald Trump in particular is using every minute he possibly can to appeal to voters.

Today the President held rallies in five different states – Michigan, Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida. Joe Biden, meanwhile, limited himself to a couple of events in Philadelphia, which is the biggest city in Pennsylvania and key to his chances of winning the state.

As you would expect, there has been a flurry of polling in the last 24 hours or so. With all the usual caveats about polling accuracy, let's look at the numbers in detail. Yesterday's Des Moines Register poll showed Mr Trump beating Mr Biden 48 per cent to 41 – a massive swing from its previous survey, which had the race tied.

Next up we have a poll of New Mexico from The Albuquerque Journal, which  shows Mr Biden winning 54-42, which is in line with the conventional wisdom that New Mexico is a little too Democrat-leaning these days to be considered a proper swing state.

The latest batch of New York Times/Siena polls covers four different states. These polls show Mr Biden up 49-43 in Arizona, 52-41 in Wisconsin, 47-44 in Florida and 49-43 in Pennsylvania.

An EPIC-MRA poll of Michigan has the Democrat leading 48-41. Another, conducted by St Pete, shows him winning Florida by a razor-thin 49-48 margin. And finally, a pair of ABC News/Washington Post surveys have Mr Biden up 51-44 in Pennsylvania, but Mr Trump winning Florida 50-48.
