The president and his Republican challenger pull out all the stops as they tour key swing states during the final weekend of campaigning before the November 6 vote.
The road to the White House is a long one and the race has been too close to call for some time, but with just hours left until the American people go to the polls, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney summoned every ounce of energy in a last-ditch bid to secure the support of the country's key states.
Mr Romney began Saturday with a rally in New Hampshire – the state where he launched his campaign last year. He told the assembled crowd in Newington: "I'm counting on your clear eyes and full hearts to make sure we can't lose on Tuesday."
After meeting the authorities who are dealing with the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, President Obama flew to Mentor, Ohio.
"Governor Romney, he's a very talented salesman," he told the cheering crowd. "So, in this campaign, he has tried as hard as he can to repackage the same policies that didn't work and offer them up as change. But you know, here's the problem, Ohio, we know what change looks like, and what he's offering--- ain't it."
Mitt Romney, of course, would disagree, as he told supporters in Englewood Colorado: "President Obama promised change but he could not deliver change. Now, I promised change and I have a record of achieving real change."
While Mr Romney hit the campaign trail with his wife Ann by his side, the Obama camp opted for star power and a little help from the president's celebrity friends.
Singer Katy Perry performed at a rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and former president Bill Clinton made an appearance in Bristow, Virginia.
"I am for President Obama because his plans for the future are better," said Clinton. "That's what really matters."
