Candidates Barnstorm Battleground States on Final Friday of 2016 Race

ABC/ Ida Mae Astute(WASHINGTON) — With a mere four days until Election Day, the presidential candidates are each visiting three separate battleground states as they look to shore up their base and reach out to any remaining undecided voters.

The latest ABC News-Washington Post tracking poll shows a tight race between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The poll finds a 47-44 percent race between Clinton and Trump in a four-day average among likely voters.

On Friday, Trump campaigns in New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Clinton, meanwhile, will hold events in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, a traditionally blue state that the Trump campaign hopes to turn red this year. Clinton’s visits to Michigan and Pennsylvania are a sign the Democrat is looking to protect her firewall of states she hopes will help put her over the 270 electoral vote threshold to win on Tuesday.

Their running mates also have busy days: Both GOP vice-presidential hopeful Mike Pence and Democratic running mate Tim Kaine will spend time in Florida Friday. Pence will also visit North Carolina and Michigan.

ABC News rates New Hampshire and Pennsylvania as leaning Democratic and Ohio as leaning Republican. Tossup races include Arizona, Florida, North Carolina and Maine’s 2nd congressional district.
