| Democrat Hillary Clinton charged that her rival, Barack Obama, was not prepared to face Republican attacks, as her lead in national polls narrowed.
Republican frontrunner John McCain defended his conservative credentials against challenger Mitt Romney.
Tuesday's wide-scale voting could see clear frontrunners emerge.
But some polls suggest that the Democratic Party race has been getting closer.
A national poll for the Washington Post and ABC showed Mrs Clinton's lead over Mr Obama had narrowed to 4%, while other polls showed the two neck and neck in the key state of California.
Of the 2,025 delegates needed to secure the nomination as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, California carries 370.
The same national poll showed Mr McCain well ahead of all his rivals. The Arizona senator had 48% against Mr Romney's 24%, with Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul trailing far behind.
A Reuters/C-Span/Zogby poll gave Mr McCain double digit leads over Mitt Romney in New York, New Jersey and Missouri, although the Massachusetts governor appeared to have an edge in California.
Talk Shows
Speaking on ABC's This week, Mrs Clinton said she had been "taking the incoming fire from Republicans" for some 16 years.
"I'm still here, because I have been vetted, I have been tested," she said, pointing out that Mr Obama "did not face anyone who ran attack ads against him" when he stood for election as Senator for Illinois.
But Mr Obama countered on CBS's Face the Nation that Republicans consider Mrs Clinton a "polarising figure".
He said he thought he could win votes that the former first lady would not be able to.
Meanwhile, Mr Romney told ABC that Mr McCain "doesn't understand the economy", and said that under him, the Republicans would be "indistinguishable" from Mrs Clinton on issues such as illegal immigration.
