ATLANTA (AP) - President Barack Obama is returning to Atlanta next month for a fundraising stop.

A Democratic spokesperson has confirmed the president will arrive on March 16. She did not elaborate on the details of the visit.

Obama lost Georgia in the 2008 general election by five percentage points and is hoping to rally voters for a better showing this fall. It is the president's first visit to Georgia in 18 months.
