[Jim Dandy]

Yessir!

1. As an Ohioian, that makes me feel a lot better. If he won Ohio, I'd be really embarrassed.

[Demsrule86]

20. Me too...I live in Ohio. nt

[madaboutharry]

2. I don't see that.

I just went to 538 and Ohio is pink. Do you have an updated link?

[Jim Dandy]

4. Check Now Cast

On my cell and the linking ain't easy. But just checked and it's AOK.

[madaboutharry]

14. Oh, thank you.

I hope she wins Ohio, that would be so rich!

5. Now-Cast Link

Ohio is slightly blue in the now-cast at this link now:

Mouse over the state to get the numbers (50.9% Clinton)

8. Keep forgetting about that Now-Cast.

Thanks

Checking now OP.

[Jim Dandy]

11. No problem

You could fill a book with what I forget.

6. I just went to 538 and Ohio is pink. Do you have an updated link?

I don't see that either?

7. Stop Using RCP-538 and Pollster Are More Accurate

RCP elected President Romney on eve of 2012 election

9. Stop Using RCP-538 and Pollster Are More Accurate.

Tbh, I don't go to 538 a lot. Just now and then. I mostly go to Sam Wang's site.

And we KNOW RCP leans right so....

Hope the link works!

Go Bobcats!

[Skoods]

10. Why oh why ohio

Can't you just be normal instead of fluctuating rapidly like a 16 year old

[DarthDem]

12. New Poll?

Has to be.

[dubyadiprecession]

13. It probably never was out of Hilary's column.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. It's only blue in the now cast,

meaning if the election were held today. Polls only and polls plus still give Trump the lead.

[rumdude]

16. Trump loses Ohio; it's over

[regnaD kciN]

17. Don't rely on the Now-Cast, folks…

It fluctuates wildly -- remember, right after the RNC, when it had Drumpf leading? All it means is who would win if the election were held today. Their other two models are considerably more reliable.

[LAS14]

18. Where do you see that?

I don't see it in 538 or Upshot.

But if it isn't actually blue, here's a different take on the situation.

19. her campaign needs to be working more in Columbus, Cleveland and Delaware county

POTUS won in 2008&12 by winning in urban areas;SE, SW & western Ohio will go for the Rs. I live in NE Columbus, & have for years, I have not had one HRC volunteer knock @ my door (& I am now unable to do door to door myself any longer). By this time last 2 elections, I had at least 3 in 2008 & in 12, 5. I am concerned that the DNC & the HRC campaign have decided to let Ohio go as the DNC did in 2000 with Gore.
I do not live in Cleveland, I strongly suspect the angry old white male blue collar workers who will never have it good (let alone ok) again will go for Trump around Cleveland city proper. Delaware Co, esp the areas closest to Columbus have alot of working women and those female voters would turn a red county purple.
I am concerned.

23. The Clinton campaign is working hard in Ohio!

The HRC campaign is working hard here in Ohio. They are all working hard to get out the vote and get every Democratic Party vote to the polls. With a little bit of luck and some help from the national party, we can even get the Senate seat and a couple US Reps, too. Ohio has been severely neglected by the national party and people will come out with a well done campaign. The national party dropped the ball in the Senate race and went dark when Ted still had a lead. The vicious lies in the ads from the Koch brothers and others against Ted hurt. Ted had no resources to respond. If the Democratic voter turnout is good, we might still turn Ohio blue this fall.

The GOP in Ohio are stealing the citizens blind. There is no media coverage of the clearly criminal and corrupt activities due to all the media in Ohio being owned by right wing sympathizers. The fact the Cincinnati Enquirer actually endorsed Hillary Clinton is shocking. IMO, it was a cynical and strategic move to help the vile Portman retain the Senate seat by trying to separate Portman from Trump.
