The Note: Top Political Stories of the Day

— -- COUNTDOWN TO ELECTION DAY: 1 day

2016 Race Stays at 47-43 Through Sunday. Rolling forward to interviews conducted Thursday through Sunday, the ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll shows the same results as its previous estimate of 47 percent for Hillary Clinton and 43 percent for Donald Trump, with Gary Johnson still at 4 percent and Jill Stein now at 1 percent, ABC’s GARY LANGER reports. It’s 49 percent for Clinton and 46 percent for Trump race in a hypothetical two-way race, when Johnson and Stein supporters are asked to choose between the Republican and Democratic nominees. http://abcn.ws/2ePacHJ

Clinton's Possible Paths to Victory. Hillary Clinton is hitting three important states in the final lap of her presidential campaign, but her team seems confident that her road to the required 270 electoral votes is secure. Of all the competitive states on this year's map, only Florida needs to go into Clinton's column for her to win the race. If she loses Florida, but wins Nevada and Michigan on top of Pennsylvania, which Democrats won in 2012, then she still triumphs. ABC’s MEGHAN KENEALLY has more. http://abcn.ws/2eOM7RF

Trump's Possible Paths to Victory. Donald Trump's path to victory isn't clear and isn't set, but the Republican presidential nominee and his team has been working to ensure he has multiple paths to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win. One route he has been working toward includes states such as Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. Of the three, Michigan was the most recent to vote Republican, but that was back in 1988. ABC’s MEGHAN KENEALLY has more. http://abcn.ws/2fy7iaw

TALES FROM THE TRAIL

ABC’s MATTHEW CLAIBORNE: President Clinton delivered his closing, passionate plea in what was his last solo campaign event of the election cycle. "North Carolina you got a lot on the line!” he cautioned. “It’s close. It always is.” After more than 200 campaign rallies, countless retail politicking and headlining a number of fundraisers, the former president was all smiles and brought his full energy even though he wasn’t physically at his best, battling allergies and fighting to keep his voice from fading. Although a sense of urgency was still present. “Every single solitary vote matters!” he said. “We have seen the stark differences between two candidates. Two philosophies, two approaches to life.” http://abcn.ws/2fMCzvo

ABC’s CANDACE SMITH and JOHN SANTUCCI: In the first of five rallies today, Donald Trump began his day with an enthusiastic crowd of a few thousand. He noted that Hillary Clinton was doing fine in the polls but said he didn't understand quite how. “You know the other day I read that Hillary Clinton called entertainers. Nobody wants to go,” Trump said. “I see she's doing fine, I'm doing fine in the polls and all that stuff. I don't know how, nobody goes to her rallies." At his second campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, Donald Trump said the FBI Director, James Comey, was “obviously under tremendous pressure” in going through the emails they found on former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner’s laptop. “Look at what she’s done with the emails as an example. Did you ever see a mess like this? Did you ever see?” Trump said. “Of course, the FBI the director, was obviously under tremendous pressure, so they went through 650,000 emails in eight days. Yeah right.”

ABC’s LIZ KREUTZ: Hillary Clinton took a few questions from reporters on the tarmac before boarding her flight to Pittsburgh this morning, where she talked about unity and bringing the country together. "I think I have some work to do to bring the country together," she said. "As I've been saying in these speeches in the last few days, I really do want to be the president for everybody. People who vote for me. People who vote against me. Because I think that these splits, these divides that have been not only exposed but exacerbated by the campaign on the other side are ones that we really do have to bring the country together.” When asked if she feels she can do that, she replied: "Yes, absolutely, absolutely. I love this country and I believe in our people. And we have a big agenda ahead of us but I'm excited. I believe we'll get a lot done and I do think we'll bring the country together.” When Clinton walked out of her Scooby van onto the tarmac she was Facetiming with her granddaughter, Charlotte. She turned the camera around to show her granddaughter the press.

ABC’s JOSH HASKELL: Hillary Clinton stopped in Grand Rapids the day before the election speaking at Grand Valley State University to 4,600 where she invoked former president Gerald Ford who grew up here and laid out to the crowd how “consequential” this election is. "The choice in this election could not be clearer and I know that for many people you’ve gone back and forth. You’ve thought about what to do and I really respect that but let me say this: this election is basically between division and unity." Clinton continued to refer to her opponent as a “loose cannon who could put everything at risk."

ABC’s JESSICA HOPPER: At a stop at Bojangles, the fried chicken restaurant, Tim Kaine told reporters that he had communicated with Hillary Clinton today. “We’ve been communicating. I will just say it like that. We’re both really excited. We’re both really excited to get to the last day of campaigning and then vote tomorrow and then just be nervous all day but we feel good about where it is,” Kaine said. Kaine, joined by his wife and daughter, ordered chicken bites and got a sweet tea. Kaine described to the traveling press about his love of Bojangles, saying he’d taken his staff there in Virginia last month.

ABC’s INES DE LA CUETARA: In Erie, Pennsylvania, Mike Pence at his last solo rally of the campaign got visibly emotional, choking up with his wife Karen and daughter Charlotte at his side. He said he was "humbled" and called this experience "an extraordinary journey." He also reminisced about first getting the call from Trump. “Men and women, I stand before you today at the end of an extraordinary journey in the life of my family. We joined this campaign somebody told me more than 125 days ago. I’ll never forget the night with my wife at my side,” Pence recalled. “We knew the call was coming. We’d prayed all the way through it. We knew what our answer would be. The phone rang, I picked up the phone - 11 o'clock at night and I heard that familiar voice. And he said, ‘Mike, It’s gonna be great.’ And it has been.” Gov. Pence also challenged Pennsylvania to do all that it can do to get Trump elected.

AD ROUNDUP with ABC’s SHUSHANNAH WALSHE

Clinton’s Two Minute Closing Message Ad. We learned about Hillary Clinton’s two minute closing argument TV ad over the weekend, but today the campaign released it. According to the campaign, the ad titled “Tomorrow" is airing to an estimated 20 million people Monday night during the Voice (NBC) and Kevin Can Wait (CBS). In the ad, Clinton talks directly to camera giving her closing argument and says voters are rejecting a campaign “defined by fear and division” and choosing one that is “hopeful and inclusive.” WATCH: http://bit.ly/2eOLMyn

Clinton Web Ad Targets African American Voters. The Clinton campaign released a web ad titled “African American Voters Can Stop Trump.” The ad features some of the controversial things Trump has said about African American voters this cycle. It starts with his endorsement from the KKK newspaper. It features speeches from Michelle Obama and the president and ends with the president at the CBC dinner where he said, “You want to give me a good send off? Go vote.” WATCH: http://bit.ly/2fxPgVV

This Ad Will Make You Smile. What can bring Clinton and Trump supporters together? Dogs. Pedigree is out with this fun and sweet election-themed ad. WATCH: http://bit.ly/2eGBiU4

‘Defeat Crooked Hillary’ Super PAC Out With Snapchat Filter. The pro-Trump, anti-Clinton super PAC “Defeat Crooked Hillary” released an Election Day snapchat filter for users in Pennsylvania to tell their friends they voted against Clinton. The filter puts cartoon jail bars across the Snap, placing a caricature likeness of Hillary Clinton behind bars and the voter as her jailer, looking down at the jailed Clinton. http://bit.ly/2ePaiix
