I hope Trump “rewards” Kasich....
Make him U.S. Ambassador to Syria.
Trump Bump!
It’s amazing she’s got 43 percent
Wow! Thanks for sharing that link.
If Trump gets blown out in Ohio, which I think is unlikely, then Kasich’s career remains damaged but remediable.
If Trump loses Ohio by a very narrow margin, Kasich will take the blame for installing Hillary Clinton as president. His career as a Republican will be over but he will obviously be celebrated in some quarters for precisely this result, including places like National Review and all Democrats.
If Trump loses Trump wins Ohio, even by a narrow margin, Kasich will look like the dumbest arse in the history of politics. This would make Trump’s victory there so much sweeter!
Tom Perkins?
LOL! Only took one more reply to not need the question...
I’m sure you are correct and of course, they want us to think Trump has no chance.
First of all RCP isn’t really to be trusted because they do use the polls that are oversampled for Ds (which is a choice they make on purpose) but also because they’re weeks out of date.
I appreciate the averaging idea, but they’re a large percentage of info no longer true.
Yep, we are working our as$es off in Ohio!!!
Kasich is term limited out. He is already done. He doesn’t care.
Yep from Labor Day onward "watch where they go" That tells all. If the Dems are giving token attention to Ohio you know they have it it in the bag but if they keep going back they know that Ohio is in play and the election is in doubt.. If they are spending lots of time in Dem stronghold states they know they are in trouble and worry about down ticket voting and are trying to shore up their Legislative Offices.
Like to see them all Trump +15.. beyond the MOE
It's the downstaters as we call them who are the issue.
We will Utah by 10pts!
Agreed.
RCP is also about making money from its website; therefore, its averaging process causes their indicators to react more slowly to newer polls. Averaging is dilutive (except when you always include an extreme or out”liar” poll in one candidate’s favor.
RCP is great, IF you want to measure respondent sentiment from 3 or 4 weeks ago. Sometimes they include polls that are 6-8 weeks dated.
When was the last time a Democrat won the WH without OH?
