AKRON, Ohio -- Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders arrived to thunderous applause inside the Akron Civic Theater Monday afternoon in a last-minute push to gain votes in Ohio's Tuesday primary.

"Tomorrow, Ohio has the capability of helping to lead this country into a political revolution. Let's do it," the Vermont senator said.

With Sanders narrowing Hillary Clinton's double-digit lead to single digits in the latest polls, momentum appears to be on the Democratic socialist's side heading into the election.

Sanders campaigned in Youngstown before traveling to Akron Monday, beginning a day of campaigning in which he planned to visit four of the five states that will vote Tuesday.

"Last Tuesday, we won in Michigan, in a state people said we couldn't win," Sanders said. "And if you don't tell anybody, let me mention to you I think we're going to win in Ohio tomorrow."

Sanders, who highlighted his recent court victory in allowing 17 year-olds who will be 18 by November's election to vote in the primary, said large voter turnout is key.

"What we're doing in American politics is very radical, we're telling people the truth," Sanders said.

Some in the crowd of about 2,000 people, largely college-aged, said they support Sanders's proposal for free tuition and public colleges and universities.

Sanders also hit on his other key campaign platforms: opposition to trade deals, campaign finance reform, healthcare for all, criminal justice reform, and an increase of the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour.

"Bernie wants to open up free public universities. I think that's a great idea," Corey Snyder, of Akron, said. "And as a factory worker, he's against trade deals. I'm against that, as well. I think that's a raw deal for the United States and our workers."

Opponents, including Clinton, have questioned the feasibility of his proposals and how Sanders would pay for them.

Sanders addressed Republican front-runner Donald Trump near the end of his hour-long speech.

"We will not elect a president who insults Mexicans. The American people will not elect a president who insults Muslims. The American people will not elect a president who insults African Americans," Sanders said.

Supporters said they feel Sanders is the more honest candidate in the race .

"I think he is a good person to bring about change. It's much needed," said Avril Flynn, of Akron. "I think he is the only candidate I've seen who is honest. He tells people how he feels, he doens't mince words."

From Akron, Sanders was set to travel to North Carolina, Missouri and Illinois.
