As Clinton sinks in Ohio polls, Warren and Sanders hit the campaign trail

Hillary Clinton's campaign announced Thursday that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will be hitting the campaign trail in Ohio this weekend. The announcement came just a day after two different polls showed Donald Trump pulling 5 points ahead in the Buckeye State.
Sanders is slated to appear Saturday in the Canton, Kent, and Akron areas, where he will talk about Clinton's proposals for debt-free college, health care, immigration, and the minimum wage. In Columbus and Cleveland, Warren will discuss Clinton's college proposals and "lay out the stakes of November's election for millennial voters," the Clinton campaign said in a statement.
While Clinton led in Ohio in a July poll by 4 points, she now lags behind Trump 46 percent to 41 percent in a CNN/ORC poll released Wednesday. In a Bloomberg Politics poll released Wednesday, she trailed Trump 48 percent to 43 percent.
