OH-PPP: DeWine-Cordray Neck and Neck

[BuckeyeNut]

Likely R. Down in an internal? Bad news for cordray.

Mike DeWine has near 100% name ID and pretty positive job approvals. Cordray being within the MoE this early, less than two months in, is very good.

Lean R atm. I could see this being encouraging in say, NC or Arizona, but for Ohio to still be down in an internal is not encouraging for Dems.

This, but with emphasis on atm. I wouldn’t be that surprised to see Cordray winning.

Honestly, I think I would be.

You people need help. You call the race safe R based off one poll, then the second another poll is released call it a toss up. lol

So what's the consensus here? The poll is good because it shows something we like? All the other polls are bad because they show something we don't like?

I still think OH-Gov is Lean D, along with IL-Gov, NH-Gov, KS-Gov, AZ-Gov, and AK-Gov (Bill Walker counted as Democrat).

No. The consensus was the first poll was always junk because it was bat sh*t insane and came from a completely unknown agency.

[I’m not Stu]

I would rate this a tossup.

But why? If 2018 is the massive Democratic wave year everyone seems to be predicting, Cordray could certainly win. I’m not buying that he’s this unbeatable juggernaut or that he will ever become president (lol), but in a wave he could definitely win against someone like DeWine, particularly if Brown is winning by a lot as well.

Something has happened in Ohio, politically. Trump is polling better there than in IN even. I don't know, but I'm not too confident on Democrats' performance there.
