President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney were again in the crucial battleground state of Ohio, with a special urgency for Romney as new polling shows the president edging ahead there less than a week before early voting begins. A day after his address to world leaders at the United Nations, Obama was speaking at two universities in the Midwestern state, hoping to generate the kind of enthusiasm among young voters that helped fuel his victory four years ago. Romney was making three stops in major cities during a bus tour aimed at drawing a contrast with Obama on the economy, which remains the top issue for voters before the November election. Both candidates in the tight race recognize how critical Ohio's 18 electoral votes will be. Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane reports from the U.S.
