Donald Trump has claimed a “big red wave has formed” ahead of next week’s election, despite the fact a latest Fox News poll has the president trailing Democratic candidate Joe Biden by eight points.

Just three days before election day on 3 November, a separate poll has Mr Biden leading Mr Trump 52% to 42%, partly because of widespread disapproval of his handling of the pandemic.

Opinion polls show a closer contest in the most competitive states that will decide the election.
