Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton are deadlocked in Ohio, according to a new poll that shows the crucial state very much in play as Mr. Trump prepares to accept the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in Cleveland on Thursday night.
A new survey from Suffolk University finds that Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton each have the support of 44 percent of likely voters, with 11 percent still undecided. When third-party candidates such as Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee, and the Green Party’s Jill Stein are included, Mrs. Clinton holds a four-point lead.
“It’s absolutely up for grabs,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.

Trump will take OH, PA, IN, MI, and Looking like WI as well... possibly even get IL if the scandals and disgust with Rahm wind up keeping enough folks home in Chicago.
Hillary has spent over 20 Million on ads in OH, Trump hardly a penny and she’s polling slightly behind to dead even... Shes’s spent 2 Million in PA, Trump nada, and shed polling behind there.. she’s spent over 25 Million in Florida, Trump again nothing to speak of and she’s behind there too....
Trump hasn’t even started yet, Hillary’s 50 Million in, in states she MUST win and is losing and Trump hasn’t spend much of anyhing.. she’s toast folks... this isn’t going to be close.
Trump had the rust belt in the bag without Pence, but he’s a nice bonus.
Only states that Hillary has a chance in, in the rust belt are MN, IL and WI (and wisconsin only because the GOPe may have poisoned the well so bad there with their never Trump stuff during the primaries that it may not be salvageable for the general). Hillary won’t win any other “rust belt” state.
“he has to be up by at least 10 points to beat Clinton in the dead voting category”
The conventional Republican strategist rule of thumb is that you need a 2% margin to protect against Democrat voter fraud. (Not kidding)
It has been a fact of life for decades. Generations.
It’s JULY folks and Hillary has spent well over 20 Million in OHIO and polling even at best there... She’s spent over 25 Million in FL and guess what, same thing there... she’s spent 2 Million in PA with another 10 Million planned and She’s polling behind there...
Trump hasn’t spent much of anything or even really launched his serious attacks yet....
She’s going to be slaughtered.... Election night Dems will be just praying they can hold onto places like NY and CA... This is going to be the worst pasting seen since about 1980.
(How does Trump know this? Remember, Trump likely knows a lot of the same people that dealt directly with the Clintons ever since they moved to the New York City area in 2001--and those people can spill a lot of secrets about the type of people the Clintons regularly dealt with.)
Trump isn’t going to squeaker Ohio, he’ll take it by at least 5... fraud won’t save Hillary.. she’s done. She’s heading to the worst beating by a democrat since at least 1980... things keep going the way they are, and she may wind up with a night like 1984.
There won’t be any reason to be up late on election night, the outcome will be obvious by 10pm.
Please, God.
Only one reason she will not be slaughtered:
FREE SH*T!
And believe me, she’s going to be promising EVERYTHING to EVERYONE in order to try and pull her fat out of the fire. Free tuition for the kiddies, college loan forgiveness for young families, higher monthly SS checks for the old folks.
She is going to buy scores of votes. It will be close.
We are going to win Ohio easily.
If that it is true we are looking at a landslide for Trump!
She can't go too far to the Left or else she turns off the 'moderates'.
And she can’t go too far right or her base blows-up on her.
She is hemmed in. I just hope she gets through next week before the Superdelegates figure this out.
Clinton has been spending tons of money in Ohio
and a tie is the best she can do.
I’ve said it since the beginning, Trump is a republican who will absolutely destroy the Democrat firewall of the rustbelt and north east....
The only rust belt states she can remotely has a shot at are MN, IL and WI if the nevertrump poisoning was too great during the primary to overcome... at this point it looks like Hillary is so bad, that Trump likely will still wind up with WI, in spite of the fact the GOPe did its best to give it away. I don’t see her being competitive, let alone able to win any of the other rust belt states.
Trump will also take a lot of New England states that have been traditionally blue.
Pundits on both sides, just are not seeing what’s going on, and even if they are, just can’t or won’t let themselves, accept it.
Hillary has her convention bounce, if she gets one, and that’s it.. Trump hasn’t even really begun in earnest, and she’s got over 50 Million spent in states she can’t lose and she is even or losing in all of them... She’s toast.
I find it laughable when I hear pundits talk about OHIO and FL and other states as the Battleground... reality is, Trump will take them all handily, by October, Dems will be doing everything in their power just to try to hold onto places that none of these talking heads remotely can conceive will be in play.
Hmmmm Considering they usually oversample Democrats by 15% Trump must be KILLING her.
“There won’t be any reason to be up late on election night, the outcome will be obvious by 10pm.”
The reason is to drink in the tears of the leftist media...
I’m in Ohio and I believe Trump will take Ohio.
I’ve got a few friends quite intimately involved in New York politics and they are convinced Trump will blow her out the water in NY.
I was sceptical at first, but I’m really thinking its a real chance now
