Ohio "The Battleground State"

Ohio is one of the few states that will play a large role in deciding who the next president of the United States is. Every fours years, Ohio becomes considered the most important swing state, though other states such as Florida and Pennsylvania have more electoral votes they do tend to lean more republican or democrat. Whereas Ohio is a state that seems to go either way on a regular basis and oddly enough nearly always goes with the winner. An interesting saying that I found was that "As history shows, as Ohio goes, so goes the nation." That is really the sole reason why there is so much focus on Ohio.

In the latest updated poll Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton are tied at 42% a piece, this comes from a poll of select registered voters in thirteen of the most controversial states, Ohio included. This election is one that I look forward to seeing how it unfolds, the debates are sure to be something that we have never seen before and truth be told it will probably end up as more of a reality TV show. The most current poll shows Trump with a 46% to 41% lead over Hilary in Ohio, I have learned from past elections to just take the polls with a grain of salt due to the variation that they show week to week. Though what we will find is that the numbers are going to drastically change during and after the debates. Trump has a tendency to say things that he should not, his extremist right wing views are a little much for even the most die hard Republicans. On the other hand the controversial topics regarding Hilary involving the deleted emails and now the possible health issues leaves some Democratic voters hanging on the fence as well. Many people have made up there minds, just as a large majority have not, the rest of the time leading up to election day will be eventful to say the least.
