I'm not sure what to think at the moment. It would be very surprising if Portman won by 9 or 8 on election day. This isn't 2010, and Strickland isn't a battered Lee Fischer.
One thing that stands out to me: 4% for "Other" seems low. The Green Party candidate should get 1-2% of the vote, and Scott Rupert, the Independent candidate, got 4.6% of the vote when he ran in '12. He's sort of a Constitution Party type, and it would odd for him to do worse in a year like 2016.
It's a real shame Husted's done such a marvelous job keeping Libertarians off statewide ballots.
