Democrat Hillary Clinton is holding onto her narrow lead over Republican rival Donald Trump in the US presidential race just days ahead of the November 8 election, according to two new polls.

A New York Times/CBS poll of 1,333 registered voters found Clinton ahead by 3 percentage points, at the cusp of the October 28 - November 1 survey's margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

A Washington Post/ABC poll showed Clinton 2 percentage points ahead among 1,767 likely voters surveyed between Octiber 29 - November 1. It also had a 3-percentage point margin of error.
