WASHINGTON D.C. -

A new poll shows the presidential race is neck-and-neck and the candidates are focused on those fall battleground states.

In the battleground state of Virginia, Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan told supporters President Obama's health care reform will devastate Medicare. Ryan also went after the President on the economy.

A new poll from the Associated Press shows the race for the White House as tight as its ever been. Both candidates are in a statistical dead heat.

The President is trying to use education to draw a clear contract with the Republican ticket. He's talking about making and keeping college affordable with teachers and students in Nevada. Young voters helped him win the White House 4 years ago.

The President says the Romney/Ryan budget would cut money from many government programs, including loans and grants to college students.
