Nov. 6 is just one week ago and President Obama and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney are hoping to make one final push before voters go to the polls.

In Wisconsin, a new Public Policy Polling survey found that Obama leads Romney 51 percent to 45 percent. This six point advantage is up from two points based on the same poll three weeks ago.

Mason-Dixon, NBC/WSJ/Marist and Marquette University polls all have Obama up by an average of three points.

Rasmussen Reports latest tracking poll shows that 49 percent of likely voters in Wisconsin appear to give both candidates the state's 10 electoral votes.

On Tuesday, an exclusive report by Think Progress claims that the Romney campaign is "training poll watchers to mislead voters In wisconsin."

"Documents from a recent Romney poll watcher training obtained by ThinkProgress contain several misleading or untrue claims about the rights of Wisconsin voters," Scott Keyes of Think Progress wrote. "A source passed along the following packet of documents, which was distributed to volunteers at a Romney campaign training in Racine on October 25th. In total, six such trainings were held across the state in the past two weeks."

A Baydoun/Foster poll shows that both candidates receive support from 46 percent of likely voters in Michigan and half of them said the three presidential debates confirmed their choice.

RealClear Politics average has the president leading Romney, 48.8 to 44.8, and on track to get the state's 10 electoral votes.

The New York Times projects that Obama will carry the state next week, despite the fact that Romney was born and raised there and his father was a "popular" governor there.

"Mr. Romney will likely fight hard in the state, given his family ties, but he has an uphill battle," the Times said.

In Iowa, most polls show the president leading his challenger.

RealClear Politics average shows Obama up by 2.3 percent.

Gravis Marketing latest polling finds Obama leading Romney by four points, 50 to 46 percent.

Iowa is still considered a tossup state with one week to go and both candidates are vying for the state's six electoral votes.
