With just hours to go before America elects its 45th President, the race between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton remains close.

President Barack Obama's successor will be decided this evening as Americans head to the polls for the 2016 Presidential Election.

With just hours to go before America elects its 45th President, the race between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton remains close.

Based on polling data from RealClearPolitics, Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by roughly three points.

Each of the 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, has a certain amount of electoral college votes to award a candidate, based on the number of members of Congress it has.

This is roughly in line with each area's population, except in Maine and Nebraska where the votes are given on a winner-takes-all basis.

States like Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia have the power to swing the election. So far, neither Trump nor Clinton has a significant lead in these crucial states.

Who do you think will be the next President of the United States? Let us know in the comments section below.
