New Ohio poll shows Democrat Joe Biden with edge over President Donald Trump

WASHINGTON, D. C. - A poll released less than a week before election day shows former Vice President Joe Biden with a five percent edge over President Donald Trump in Ohio and a seven percent lead in neighboring Pennsylvania.

The Quinnipiac University poll of voters in four potential swing states that was released on Thursday found the Democratic presidential nominee with a three percent lead over Republican Trump in Florida, and Trump leading Biden in Iowa by one percent: a level within its margin of error. Trump won all four states in 2016, and Democrat Barack Obama prevailed there in the previous two contests.

In Ohio, 48% of the 1,186 likely voters that were surveyed between October 23 and October 27 said they back Biden, and 43% said they support Trump. The poll’s margin of error was 2.9%. A poll the university released on October 14 showed a tighter race in the state, with Biden getting 48% and Trump getting 47%.

“A race that’s been virtually tied now looks to be tilting toward Joe Biden," said a statement from Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Mary Snow. “The question is whether he can hold onto that slight lead in a state where President Trump won comfortably in 2016.”

2. An Ohio win would be interesting because it was one of those not really expected to win

for most of the campaign.

But it's a state where John Kerry did better among white men than he did in other states . Biden helped get those same type of white men to vote for Obama.

Young people leaving the state has made it more conservative but Trump hasn't really done anything to help them economically .
