Political campaigns are being kicked into high gear as Americans prepare to go to the polls and cast their votes in one short week. That means there&rsquo;s no shortage of election news and coverage, from the latest poll numbers to last minute initiatives being launched by both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire businessman Donald Trump.

In order to make sense of all the noise, 1851 Franchise is rounding up the top political news stories every day through the rest of the 2016 election season. Here are today&rsquo;s biggest headlines:

ABC News: What Clinton and Trump Have Pledged to Do in Their First 100 Days as President

In one week, the 2016 presidential election will officially come to a close. But even though the results are yet to be determined, both candidates have been making plans for their first 100 days in office. <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/clinton-trump-pledged-100-days-president/story?id=43219163&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-tuesday-november-1-7241" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ABC News laid out the major issues</a> that Clinton and Trump have promised to tackle as soon as they take a seat in the Oval Office. Throughout the campaign season, Clinton has told voters that she plans to reach out to Republicans and repair relationships across the aisle in addition to introducing immigration reform. Trump, on the other hand, is focused on reforming and replacing policies put into place by President Barack Obama. His 100-day plan includes repealing Obamacare and rooting out corruption in Washington.

Business Insider: Trump Takes the Lead Over Clinton in a Major Poll

An <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-clinton-poll-lead-2016-11?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-tuesday-november-1-7241" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ABC News/Washington Post poll published Tuesday</a> shows Trump leading Clinton by one point. In a race between both major party candidates, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Trump had 46 percent support while Clinton had 45. That suggests that Trump climbed 13 points in the poll in less than two weeks. However, Trump&rsquo;s lead is within the poll&rsquo;s margin of error that&rsquo;s plus or minus three points.

USA Today: How Women Have Defined the 2016 Election

There&rsquo;s no doubt that women have played a major role in politics this year. It starts with Clinton, the first female presidential nominee of a major party in the history of the U.S. However, the influence that women have on today&rsquo;s political climate goes far beyond that. <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/11/01/how-women-have-defined-the-2016-election-hillary-clinton/93049292/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-tuesday-november-1-7241" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">USA Today notes</a> that between an increasing number of female leadership roles and the general &ldquo;declining tolerance for sexual harassment,&rdquo; the impact women are having on the 2016 election will last far beyond November 8.

TIME: Clinton Rolls Out New Ad Highlighting Trump&rsquo;s Comments About Women

With one week left to make their case, both presidential candidates are launching aggressive advertising campaigns in an effort to grab last minute support. <a href="http://time.com/4553101/hillary-clinton-ad-donald-trump-women/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-tuesday-november-1-7241" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Clinton&rsquo;s campaign released a new ad</a> that features offensive remarks that Trump has made about women. It&rsquo;s not the first time Clinton has tapped into the power of this specific message&mdash;she launched a campaign in September that put Trump&rsquo;s comments over images of young girls looking at themselves in the mirror.

CNBC: Trump Spends $25 Million on Ads Targeting Battleground States

Trump&rsquo;s campaign also announced that it&rsquo;s banking on advertising in key battleground states like Colorado, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Washington and Virginia. The Republican nominee is <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/01/trump-launches-25-million-battleground-ad-blitz-for-final-week.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=political-roundup-tuesday-november-1-7241" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">spending $25 million on a final ad campaign</a> as election day gets closer. Trump&rsquo;s new campaign will also target Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania&mdash;he&rsquo;ll need to win multiple battleground states in order to top 270 electoral votes.
