Why Ohio is leaving Donald Trump for Hillary Clinton
CBS NewsA month ago, the perennial swing state of Ohio was slipping away from Hillary Clinton, who was struggling to win over working class whites and impress jaded millennials.
Today, Ohio looks more and more like it is hers to lose.
The story of why is about Donald Trump: The Republican nominee delivered a woeful opening debate performance, spent days feuding with a former Miss Universe, and it was all capped off the following week by news of an explosive 2005 tape showing Trump seemingly bragging about sexual assaulting women.
The Clinton campaign stresses that it never abandoned Ohio, even as polls showed the state tilting away from her several weeks ago, with some showing Clinton losing to Trump by as many as 5 points -- a far cry from the narrow win President Obama delivered against Mitt Romney. Trump’s appeal among working class white voters - especially white men - sliced into Clinton’s support among traditional Democrats.

"seemingly" FCS, what would it take for it to be more than seems like it? Is CBS afraid of Trump law suits?
