With just days before the US presidential election, opinion polls indicate growing support for Democratic nominee Senator Barack Obama. Even traditionally conservative North Carolina is now considered a "toss up," where both Obama and Republican nominee Senator John Mcain are virtually tied in the polls. This is a surprising development in a traditionally conservative state where in 2004 President George W. Bush won by 12 percentage points. VOA's Brian Padden reports from North Carolina that the state is now in play because of the economy, an energized Democratic organization, and Republican neglect.

Pennsylvania, with its 21 electoral votes, has gone Democratic in recent presidential elections but the campaign of Republican John McCain believes it can still eke out a victory. Even though Democrat Barack Obama leads the polls in Pennsylvania, McCain is pouring in resources and making frequent visits hoping to attract support. VOA's Bill Rodgers was in Pennsylvania and reports on the ground game by the two campaigns to win the state.

If the last two US presidential races are anything to go by, this year's race could be just as controversial, with voter irregularities and the customary legal wrangling. Experts say that the huge voter turnout expected on election day could overwhelm the new electronic voting system prompting a repeat of the debacles seen in 2000 and 2004. So is history about to be repeated or will the US voting system hold up? And will the outcome of the election be what polls suggest? At the moment it seems as though Barack Obama will be the clear winner. But what if many voters hide their true preferences or change their minds at the very last minute?

Voting in the US' crucial battleground states could swing the country's presidential election. With just one week to go now, Barack Obama appears to be winning the fight for them, leading John McCain in 5 of 8 key states. Democratic candidate Obama is ahead in Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Nevada and Ohio. Ohio has been a happy hunting ground for Republicans in recent years, but as Teresa Bo reports from Zanesville, opinion on the candidates is now more evenly divided.

CBS chief Washington correspondent and debate moderator Bob Schieffer spoke with Harry Smith about his take on the performances of John McCain and Barack Obama.

In the last 100 years, the midwestern state of Missouri has correctly picked the winner of the US presidential race every time except for once. This is why Missouri is considered a pivotal state and is home to a diverse voting population that mirrors the electorate for the United States at large. As VOA's Kane Farabaugh reports from St. Louis, both Presidential candidates view Missouri as a key prize to help win the election.

With its 23 electoral votes, Pennsylvania remains a key battleground state in this year's presidential race. Saturday, Barack Obama and Gov. Sarah Palin were both vigorously courting votes in the state.

As most polls show Barack Obama in the lead, John McCain is shifting his attacks from policy to personality. For Obama, his weapon of choice is Sarah Palin. Dean Reynolds reports.

John McCain is opening a new line of criticism toward his rival, saying he's not going to take advice from a Chicago politician like Barack Obama.
