Romney, Ryan to make preconvention Ohio trip

CINCINNATI (AP) — Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will campaign together in central Ohio this Saturday, visiting the critical battleground state ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention.

The campaign says they will be in Powell for a morning rally. Romney came to Ohio on a bus tour Aug. 14, three days after announcing the Wisconsin congressman as his running mate. Ryan also campaigned separately last week in Ohio, visiting his alma mater Miami University in Oxford and Walsh University in North Canton.

A poll released today indicated the addition of Ryan hasn’t moved Ohio voters. The poll by Quinnipiac University, CBS News and The New York Times showed President Barack Obama holding steady with a 50-44 percent lead, with a 2.8 percent margin of error. Obama campaigned Tuesday in Columbus.
