Donald Trump and Joe Biden are set to face off at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, in some time. 

The debate comes just 12 days before the November 3 election, and it likely represents the US presidents last chance to change his dismal polling numbers.

The FiveThirtyEight average of recent national polls shows Biden has a 9.9-point advantage among likely voters, and polls of battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin similarly show the Democratic nominee pulling ahead of the president.

Trump is running out of time to reinvigorate his campaign, particularly because tens of millions of Americans have already cast their ballots.

According to the US Elections Project, 47,796,990 Americans have already voted by mail or early in person, representing about 35% of the total 2016 turnout.

If Trump cannot turn in a strong performance tonight, his fate could be sealed.
