(14,858 posts)The idea that most Ohioans would want another 4 years of this nightmare makes me ill!

(22,917 posts)Same is true for North Carolina by the way. So election night returns for both of those states will include the vast majority of mailed in ballots. Either a Biden victory or a very close contest in both of those states that Trump won in 2016 would go a long way toward debunking any claims Trump might try making about an election night victory based on election night returns in other states that will not have the bulk of their mail in ballots processed on election night.

Thanks.

It is both a call and online poll

(26,775 posts)It's virtually identical to their results (50/46) two months ago... and roughly in line with most of the OH polling this year.

(5,042 posts)As bad as Ohio has become politically, I don't see how Sherrod Brown can easily win there and Joe wouldn't have a shot, especially after Obama won there twice.

(203 posts)The same block that Biden has a real shot at picking up. Ohio is definitely in play.

Buckeye_Democrat
(14,858 posts)I was suggesting Ohio might be hopeless for Democrats in the future if Trump wins here again. He's even worse than Dumbya imo.

(68,715 posts)Cleveland is hit very hard economically. I think the state is close...but Ohio has always been this way. I am seeing tons of Biden ads and no Trump ads.

(14,858 posts)I live in a very purple part of the state too. A bunch of Trump signs in more rural areas wouldn't surprise me since they're mostly a lost-cause anyway.

(21,224 posts)Dont have to vote because Biden has it in the bag! Vote like MF45 is ahead by 5 points.
Rasmussen wants to stay on MF45s good side. I just dont trust them.

(2,640 posts)Ohio is a de facto red state.
I think we have a better chance of winning Texas tbh.
But maybe the Troop-hater-in-Chief's comments have hurt him there?
Either way, GOTV!

(68,715 posts)Ohio went for Bush twice also...it is a swing state and is in play.

Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)Clinton '96 and Obama '08 won Ohio by slightly more than 4 points apiece. Those were big Democratic years with national margins similar to Biden's current number, but no question Ohio has shifted to the right since '96 and '08.
I give a 4 point margin virtually no chance of being accurate.
But this is why national polls hold such greater value than state polls. The state polls are going to be all over the map because they are lower funded, less sophisticated, devote less time to the polling, and are using vastly different models from each other.
