Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a dead heat in the battleground state of Ohio, according to a new poll released Thursday.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a dead heat in the battleground state of Ohio, according to a new poll released Thursday.

The Suffolk University survey found Clinton and Trump tied at 44 percent, with 11 percent of likely voters still undecided.

When the race is a four-way contest with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson and presumptive Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Clinton leads Trump by 4 points, 43 percent to 39 percent. Johnson gets 5 percent, Stein receives 1 percent, and 12 percent are undecided.

The survey was released on the last day of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, hours before Trump will officially accept the GOP presidential nomination.

The top issue to those voters: terrorism and national security, which 24 percent of respondents named as their highest priority. That beat out a perennial top issue, jobs and the economy, which 17 percent named as top priority. Fifty-five percent said they feel less safe in the U.S. than they did five to 10 years ago, while only 12 percent feel more safe.....................A dark vision of America...according to Ohio voters!

Yep, Trump sure painted a dark vision for America didn’t he??

sarcasm

I can’t get over, how everyone in the media decided it was a “dark” speech. Who the heck writes the talking points, and decided that “dark” was to be the word to use?????

They are prepping the battlefield to report a “sudden bump” for her out of this scam DNC coronation coming up. It is all smoke and mirrors. She’s in deep, deep trouble and they know it in their bones.

If that snake Kay-Sick ever chooses to crawl out from under whatever rock he hidden beneath and support Trump, honor his pledge, and save America, instead of plotting his improbable election in 2020, Trump will take Ohio in a breeze.

A recent poll showed Hillary ahead in New York by 12 points. She will carry New York, however, this margin is substantially less than the margin by which Obama carried New York.

If these trends are national trends, then Hillary has got to be in trouble in many of the battleground states.

If Hillary loses even 5 percent over Obama’s margins, that will be enough to flip many states, such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, to Trump.

And if that happens, Trump is on the verge of victory by flipping those states.

It was a dark speech. Donald spoke to the problem in the dark communities, no jobs, killings, horrible schools, drugs and no hope. He spoke to dark America and told them he would work for them.

Agree. I am shocked that anyone would consider her for CIC after nearly all her criminality was exposed (still waiting for the Clinton Foundation’s Pay-for-Play to hit the fan). Just shows how far this nation’s education system has sunk.

Trump has to take OH. No Republican has won without OH in modern times.

He needs to get up at least 7-8 pts to negate the usual amount of Dem voting fraud that takes place.

There is a firm 40% of people in this country that would vote for the Devil himself as long as there entitlements and preferential treatment continue. That small deciding group of people, for whatever reason who drift back over that line between good and evil are the ones who will decide this. There is also a good number of people who are so disappointed in government altogether that they have given up voting.

It is up to Trump and us to lure them back by telling them there are better days out there for them than what Democrats have in store for them.

Don’t forget Laura Ingraham’s “NAZI” salute. (Sarcasm)

Ya, that’s right, Laura Ingraham allegedly gave a Nazi salute.

These liberals will say and do anything won’t they? Truth does not matter. The only thing that matters is advancing the liberal agenda.

Off topic, but the liberals are saying Trump’s speech was so dark. I and many others I’m sure, feel that it’s been a dark time in America these last eight years, and look to the a dark future if HIllary becomes president. Are we allowed to say we fear a dark future with Hillary???? Or do the liberals have dibs on that word???

Remember these polls are crap, because almost all of the polling firms are already in the tank for Hillary.

So they do tricks like oversampling Dems to make it look tied. Like another Freeper said, if they say it’s tied, then Trump is really up by 10 points.

PLUS, in this election, there’s another unknown. By painting Trump and his supporters as practically Nazis, may Trump supporters are (understandably) reluctant to reveal their true voting intentions, so there’s ANOTHER, hidden level of support for Trump, probably at least 10%.

So, in reality, Trump is probably now leading Hillary by 20% - something proven by the level of utter panic in the Dem/media shills.

And this is still only summer, wait till the REAL advertising starts!!

Trump’s speech was INDEED dark - FOR THEM AND THEIR ROTTEN PARTY OF TRAITORS, CROOKS and FLIMFLAM ARTISTS. Not to mention the RINOs who kept Obama in control like Ryan, McConnell et.

Hopefully Ryan and McCain are flushed out of office and Trump’s attacks on corporate crony corruption leads to McConnell’s replacement as Senate Majority Leader.

I think the Frank Luntz focus group show of hands on Fox News really underscored your statement. Only about half of the participants raised their hands when asked if they would vote for Trump. Not one raised their hand when asked if they would vote for Hillary.
