US President Barack Obama has returned to the campaign trail and to his 2008 theme of change, with five days to go until the US election.
 
The Democratic incumbent is campaigning in three key election states, while his Republican rival Mitt Romney held rallies in Virginia.
Mr Obama told voters not to be fooled by his challenger, who has been trying to seize the mantle of change.
 
The election is neck and neck, both nationally and in key state contests.
Both candidates await the latest unemployment figures on Friday. Last month's report showed the US jobless rate falling below 8% for the first time in several years.
 
Mr Obama held off campaigning for three days this week as he directed the federal response to the super-storm Sandy. Mr Romney had also amended his schedule and toned down his attack on the president.
 
On Thursday, Mr Obama gained the endorsement of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who argued the president was a better choice on climate change issues given Sandy's impact.
