>> reporter: supporters energized but acknowledging this could be a tight finish. >> it will be no walk in the park for either side, either hillary or trump. >> reporter: now, according to the polls, it's tight near new hampshire according to a real clear politics average of 5 different polls. donald trump is 2 points ahead of hillary clinton here. we're live in hampshire, louisa moller, wbz news. democrats and republicans are both hitting the campaign trail hard. >> hillary clinton was in four states and using surrogates to get out the vote and sway the undecided. paul burton is live in durham, new hampshire where president obama is campaigning for clinton. paul? >> reporter: you can clearly see the excitement in the arena as president obama took center

trickling out but they wanted to hear the message that, their vote really does matter. hello, new hampshire. >> reporter: inside a packed arena, this happens of students couldn't wait to hear president obama to speak and encourage everyone to get out to vote. >> let's go ban in we started and let's elect hillary clinton. >> this is really going to help students and get out to vote because students are super important this we could swing the election. >> reporter: students skipped their classes to line up early to get a place inside the arena to show support for hillary clinton. >> i like what she is doing especially in education and her teaming with bernie sanders, i think that's important. i don't like how education, the college levels, is dependent on your income. >> you will be able to say you voted for a stronger, fairer,

bridges, not walls. >> reporter: pennsylvania, michigan, and north carolina stops but her energy was alive. >> i am super excited and nervous for the election tomorrow. >> reporter: while president obama is here in new hampshire, hillary clinton ended her day in pennsylvania with a rally there where every vote matters and every vote counts. it ll i'm paul burton, wbz news, back to you. the department of justice is sending federal election monitors to 28 states including massachusetts to make sure there is no discrimination at the polls. they will be in quincy tomorrow to make sure that no voter is treated differently based on his or her race, color, or eligibility. david? lisa, we bring in political

what the polls were saying. but what factors are you looking at to give us an indication of what might happen? >> i don't know. all i really want to do is take a nap. >> go ahead and lie down and fall asleep. when you wake up, we'll tell you who won. >> we need a nap. and polls are great, david, but no substitute for the vote. and i am watching closely the early voting stats showing democratic turnouts beating republican turnouts in swing states like va and signs of record hispanic voter turnout to help the democrats. but republican turnout is strong in ohio and the democratic edge in north carolina's early voting is way off from 4 years ago. keep in mind. donald trump probably needs to win all of those states i just mentioned. or most of them, and another stat i have been keeping an eye on, president obama's job approval rating up to 56% in

july of 2009. and given how closely clinton has embraced obama and how aggressively he is campaigning for her, that is a good sign for the democrats and a bad sign for trump, and one very intangible but significant factor i am watching, the body language and tone of the candidates as they make their final rounds. give trump credit. as he kept up the broughtal pace and is talking more about the prospect of losing and that's not good. the positive elements have taken a back seat to negative attacks on his opponents, and clinton is doing her share of attacking but with surrogates handling much of that for sure and she has been able to pivot to a more positive message.

anything in the e-mails but all of this melts away. 26 and a half hours from now and we will know what's going on. >> you said one party thinks if the other gets in, that's like the end of the country, and that's never the case. we always move on as a country because we are a great country. >> amen. i still feel that way. we made it a long, long way successfully with our system. it's not without flaws but works better than any other system i'm aw it will continue no matter who wins. who you is that for optimism? >> you earned your nap. thank you. and we are taking a tight look at the september race. the incumbent began 24 hours of straight campaigning and i crisscrossing the state while her democratic challenger is making several stops before
