Ohio's unbroken, leading bellwether streak dates back to 1964. Since that presidential election cycle, Ohio has been carried [by all winners] with a percentage margin within five points in spread from the national numbers [in the U.S. Popular Vote].

Ohio went from a Cook PVI of about R+5 in 1960 to only R+1 in 2012, with most of that change coming during the 1980s and 1990s.
