Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have presented very different visions of America's future as they staged their final campaign events.
Mrs Clinton final day on the campaign trail saw her at a huge rally in swing state Pennsylvania, where she was joined by President Obama and rock stars Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi.
An estimated crowd of 40,000 people gathered in front of Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were adopted, as the Democratic candidate promised to unite the country following a toxic campaign.
She said: "What will we vote for, not just against? We have to heal this country, we have to bring people together, listen and respect each other."
Urging supporters to get out and vote, she told them: "Tomorrow, we face a test of our time. None of us wants to wake up and think that we could have done more."
Springsteen - known as The Boss - told the crowd: "Let's all do our part so we can look back on 2016 and say we stood with Hillary Clinton on the right side of history."
Earlier, Mrs Clinton was upbeat as she boarded her jet to Pittsburgh - but she admitted she would have her work cut out to repair the damage done by a bitterly-fought campaign if she can convert her slender poll lead into a win.
She told reporters: "I really do want to be the president for everybody - people who vote for me, people who vote against me.
"We're just going to work until the last vote is counted."
Mr Trump, who also notched up thousands of air miles as he flew between the states likely to decide the election, repeated his message that the presidential vote is "rigged" and allegations that his rival is "corrupt".
He told voters at a rally in Florida: "You have one magnificent chance to beat the corrupt system and deliver justice - do not let this opportunity slip away."
The property tycoon was joined at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, by his daughter Ivanka, who promised the crowd: "He will never let you down."
Both candidates will be in New York on election night, with the Republican billing his planned event at a Hilton hotel as a "victory party".
Mrs Clinton has said she will vote in the early morning at a school near her home in Chappaqua, New York.
Security is expected to be tight as Americans go to the polls after US authorities received intelligence of a possible pre-election al Qaeda attack.
More than 5,000 police officers will be assigned to secure midtown Manhattan.
Barack Obama will remain in the White House until 20 January when the election winner will take the oath of office and become the 45th president of the United States.
