“Donald Trump is tied with Hillary Clinton in Ohio, and that was before we found out that she put the secretary of state’s office up for sale like the Lincoln Bedroom was when Bill Clinton was president,” Scott said in an emailed statement. “This poll shows that independent voters are looking for an outsider like Donald Trump who is working for them – not special interests. Our ads are working to pull the cover back on Hillary’s legacy of corruption, and that means more and more voters will support Donald Trump.” ...
Scott is the head of the Rebuilding America Now PAC, which—in conjunction with pollsters from On Message, Inc.—conducted a battleground survey in the state of Ohio. The survey of 600 likely voters from August 13 to August 17, with a margin of error of 4 percent, shows Trump tied with Clinton at 45 percent apiece ...
But more importantly, pollster Wes Anderson of On Message told Breitbart News in a brief phone interview on Thursday that Trump is surging with independents far ahead of Hillary Clinton. In fact, the data shows that Trump is winning 53 percent of independents, while Clinton is just getting 33 percent of independents—with 15 percent undecided. That is a 20-point advantage for Trump.

Noway Trump loses when he's so far ahead with independents when they make up 42% of the electorate nationwide per Gallup.
These pollsters are skewing the polls with unrealistic models that some here just swallow daily. I see skewing everyday in their internals from the ultra liberal pollsters to give Hillary an edge. Liberals do lie and they do it all the time and more so when they are scared.
Go, Trump, GO!!
I think the MSM clearly knows that the Clinton Foundation debacle and now increasing questions about her health will turn into gigantic drags on her campaign by the time the election season goes into full swing starting Labor Day weekend.
If he has a 20 point lead with Indies, I fail to see how the polls could be a tie.
Conservatives vote en mass. They search out and get registered and follow through.
Democrats register everyone with a pulse, and not nearly as many percentage wise show up at the polls.
They have great ads
Because in the imaginary world live in 60%+ of the electorate is a Democrat.
I can’t imagine that this running out the clock strategy is going to work. If it’s in the bag as her side thinks wouldn’t she want to campaign and build up a wave of good feeling the way Obama did in 2008?
My guess is a lot of Republican voters are still licking their wounds and not willing to state they will vote for Trump. But when they’re in the voting booth in November will they really pull the lever for Clinton?
I've noticed the "Trump hates disabled people" theme in the add showing him mocking the political operative pretending to be a reporter is no longer on the air. They must have gotten all the mileage from that ad that they think they are going to get.
Trump is scheduling going into the urban areas to address the votes there. Not too many Republicans have ever done that. It is about time.
Reuters has miraculously adjusted their poll as of last night to show Clinton with only a 3 point lead in the 4 way match-up 39-36. It was 8 points on Tuesday and she was up 12 in the 2 way on that day.

Yea and that is with their post convention special sauce they applied ! I think this race is all tied up and Trump climbing!
I drive A LOT around Cincinnati 35 mile radius. One Hillary sign in a yard and one bumper sticker I have seen in last 6 months.
Anecdotal, yes but I also have seen dozens of Trump one’s in same period.
I should look it up, but I’ll bet a larger percentage of Republicans participate in the elections, compared to the democrats.
You think you see Trump signs now? Just wait until mid September. It’s going to be Yuge.
One of the reasons beyond the oversampling of democrats in the polls is that a significant portion of the undecided are conservatives that are not willing to admit yet that they will pull the lever for Trump.
Some of them don’t realize that Trump was the most conservative one in the primary. Not in the classical sense, but in the sense that he will actually get it done. That has been his MO for the longest time.

Primary turnout this year was much HIGHER for Republicans and much LOWER for Democrats. That is usually a very good indicator !!
“Noway Trump loses when he’s so far ahead with independents ...”
Yes way. The Diebold voting machines are Soros’ machines. Other voting machines are being “tweaked”. Trump could get 95% of the votes and still be declared the loser.
Not long ago Reuters/Ipsos polled 20% more females to help push Hillary over the top.
Some like to compare Trump to Romney’s 2012 polling.
Trump is not even close to being a Romney, and Romney disappeared from TV in the last month in 2012. The liberal pollsters knew Romney could not push the polling needle therefore no or less skewing. Trump scares the crap out of them so they do skew, and we see it all the time. No doubt much we can’t see in their internals.
I’ve run into that a few times, and I agree it’s a good sign.
My though was, what percentage of those registered show up to vote. The Secretary of State’s office is where I can find it. I just haven’t bothered.
