MIAMI (CBSMiami) – President Barack Obama will make his way back to South Florida Thursday with a campaign visit to the University of Miami as he tries to shore up support after a dismal end to last week in the polls.

Obama’s campaign will hold an event at the BankUnited Center on the campus of the University of Miami Thursday. The event is free and open to the public, but a ticket will be required to get into the event.

Tickets were made available to the event earlier in the week.
