President Barack Obama arrived in Madison, Wis., at about 2:40 a.m. Monday, the Wisconsin State Journal reports. He and rocker Bruce Springsteen rallied a crowd there later in the morning.

The newspaper had a live blog. (The newspaper endorsed Obama in 2008 and Romney in 2012.)

Obama was up 8 points over GOP challenger Mitt Romney in Wisconsin in a Marquette University poll a few days ago.

Romney's running mate Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin congressman, probably gives Romney a small boost but not enough to help him carry the state, Bloomberg reports.

Obama is also scheduled for an appearance Monday in Ohio, and Des Moines, Iowa, will be his final stop before he heads back to Chicago, the Des Moines Register reports.

Romney on Monday is scheduled to be in Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire and Virginia, Fox News reports.

President Barack Obama, who canceled campaign events for a third day to focus on Hurricane Sandy, will make remarks on the tarmac at Austin Straubel International Airport near Green Bay on Thursday morning. The Obama and Romey campaigns are making last-ditch efforts to win Midwestern states. Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod said he would shave his mustache of 40 years if Obama loses Minnesota, Michigan or Pennsylvania.

A new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll among 800 likely Minnesota voters shows the presidential race for the state's 10 electoral votes is getting closer, with President Barack Obama drawing 47 percent to Romney's 44 percent. With just over a week before the election, the president's 3-point lead is within the poll's margin of error. In September, Obama held an 8-percentage point lead over his Republican challenger in the Minnesota Poll.

President Barack Obama has won a second term as president of the United States, and Minnesota was among the states he won. In his speech well after midnight, Obama thanked Vice President Joe Biden, his family, and the greatest campaign team and volunteers "in the history of politics."

President Obama has won the key battleground state of Wisconsin, Fox News, CBS News and NBC projected. The win, paired with another projected win in swing state New Hampshire, makes it tougher for the Romney campaign to get to the 270 electoral votes needed to win.

Republicans were encouraged by a weekend poll that showed challenger Mitt Romney had nearly pulled even with President Obama in Minnesota. But a KSTP Survey USA poll now shows the president with a 7 percent lead among likely voters surveyed. One analyst says Romney's made gains but they may have come too late.

GOP vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan rallied 6,500 people at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International AIrport on Sunday, trying to steal a Minnesota win for the Romney-Ryan ticket from Democrats, who have long said the state was safe for President Obama. Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton is expected back in Minnesota Sunday night for an appearance in St. Cloud.

Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Jill Biden, is returning to Minnesota later this month. She campaigned on behalf of President Barack Obama in Minnesota in mid-September. Events aren't finalized but a Democratic official says Biden will campaign in Minneapolis and Duluth on Oct. 19 and Oct. 20. It would be Jill Biden's second campaign stop in Minnesota since Labor Day.
