Obama started a bus tour in the Midwestern state on Thursday.

President Barack Obama has drummed up support in the expected battleground state of Ohio.

Obama started a bus tour in the Midwestern state on Thursday. The trip will also take him to the eastern state of Pennsylvania on Friday.Obama delivered a speech in Maumee in northwestern Ohio, which is home to many auto-related businesses. He argued that US automakers are recovering steadily thanks to massive injections of public funds, which opposition Republicans protested.

The president said he was betting on the American worker and industry, and 3 years later, the American auto industry has come roaring back.
The presidential election will be a race between Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney of the Republican Party.

Obama has recently been enjoying a tail wind. Last month, the Supreme Court upheld his healthcare reform and his measures to deal with illegal immigration.

However, the economy is not recovering as fast as he hopes. The unemployment rate is hovering high at 8.2 percent.

The latest opinion poll shows Obama and Romney are competing neck and neck. Forty-nine percent of voters say they will cast their ballots for Obama. Forty-six percent say they will back Romney.

Obama hopes to widen his support among the middle- class and young people by touring states that are crucial to winning the election.
