Trump within 4 in Ohio? Looks like Hillary just couldn't put him away in the Buckeye State.

It's been that way for months. The same could be said of him as well. He was supposed to dominate the rust belt. So far that isn't shaping up.

The polls are running for Hillary about 4 times what Obama took the state for in 2012. For Ohio, it's a landslide.

Obama won Ohio by 3 points. Think you are mistaking it for Florida where he won by less than a percent.

I thought the changing demographics, Trump being branded insane/racist/sexist (etc), billions in TV adds, biased media coverage and 1 gazillion high ranking anti-Trump republicans would make the state child's play for a dem.

Obama won Ohio be 3% in '12. 3 x 4 = 12%.

I think he means Florida. Florida went for Obama by 0.9 percent in 2012. So that literally would be 4 times better.

You have unpopular candidate #1 and unpopular candidate #2 running against each other. There is a limit just how much either of them can pull away.

Yes. My bad. Ohio is where Obama did so well because of Romney's anti-worker positions and lies about Jeep. And Clinton is still beating Trump by an even larger margin. Portman is doing well proving they really have no use for Trump in that state.

I think it's telling that both Clinton and Portman are ahead in Ohio. There can be no more concrete evidence of a complete rejection of Donald Trump than that.
