This is probably a result of the immediate fallout of his racist tweets against “the squad.” As such, I doubt its accuracy this far off, but if this holds up he’s a clear underdog for re-election
Huh? What makes you think that would be a top concern for Ohio voters? Only NOW they start to care that Trump is racist? What happened to all that “economic anxiety?” Maybe it’s the realization that the factories aren’t coming back after all, maybe it’s Joe’s particular appeal to the region/demographics, but whatever it is, it’s not even an isolated poll so I find it hard to believe that would be the cause. Fact is Trump’s been underwater in Ohio in many of the Morning Consult state polls, sometimes even moreso than in states Atlas considers safe D like Virginia and Nevada. Plus, pretty sure he was losing it in those leaked internal polls.
This isn’t to say, of course, that Ohio definitely ISN’T going to vote Trump again and ISN’T going to keep trending R, but it’s always been a dumb meme and a myth that it’s now guaranteed titanium R forever as this board would have you believe.
