US Election: Florida polls show Joe Biden is taking slim lead over Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden held duelling rallies in Florida on Thursday, battling against each other in Trump's home state.

Just five days before the election, polls show Biden is taking a slim lead in Florida polls.

The Democratic Candidate is on 48.6 percent, while Trump is on 46.5 percent.

"So I'm thrilled to be here in my… our home state… Florida," Trump told his supporters on Thursday (local time). 

"I love this state and I love the people of this state."

"Right here in Florida, it's up to you," Biden said, urging supporters to vote.

"If Florida goes blue, it's over."

"Five days left folks… millions of Americans are already voting, millions more by the end of the week."

More than 80 million Americans have already voted, suggesting the country could be headed for the biggest voter turnout in over 100 years.
