Democrat Hillary Clinton maintained her narrow lead over Republican rival Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race just days ahead of the November 8 election, according to two polls released today.

A New York Times/CBS poll of 1,333 registered voters found Clinton ahead by 3 percentage points, at the cusp of the October 28- November 1 survey's margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

A Washington Post/ABC poll showed Clinton two percentage points ahead among 1,767 likely voters surveyed October 29 - November 1.

It also had a three-percentage point margin of error.
