A
little over a month ago, it looked to be clear that Ohio was going to go to
Donald Trump, now it appears that Ohio is Hilary’s to lose. Trumps opening
debate statements did not do him any favors, couple with the controversial tape
from 2005 and the whole Miss Universe debacle, things are starting to slip away
from Trump. The reason Ohio was favoring Donald is his pull on working class
white men that typically vote democrat, in contrast the Democrats pushed there
hardest to register voters that are minorities and that are young. With early
voting beginning this Wednesday, Clinton boasts a 4 point lead of 46 to 42 over
Donald.
One big point that is killing Trump
in Ohio, is that he has had the support of iron workers, until information
about his purchase of steel from China. Many workers felt betrayed and felt
that he can no longer be trusted. I found it interesting that 9 of 10 Trump
voters polled were not waiver by the tape released in 2005. Though that is
still a 10% lose in votes for Donald if the polls translate to the larger
population. Many Trump supporters would not change there vote no matter what
happened, whereas there are also many voters that are just on the fence and are
still not sure, that is why this is such a sensitive time in the election process
and why the Presidential debates are so influential.
