President Obama is visiting three college campuses in as many swing states this week hoping to win over the young voters who helped catapult him to victory in 2008 but who have since lost enthusiasm for the president as student loan debt and unemployment among young adults soar.

Obama will be stopping at universities in North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa during the two-day campaign swing beginning Tuesday. He plans to focus on students’ ballooning debt while urging Congress to prevent interest rates on certain student loans from doubling in July.
