I think this would be a signal that Biden is winning Ohio by somewhere around Obama's win in 2012. Biden probably does have to win OH-10 if he's to have a chance at winning the state, unlike Obama 2012. At the CD level, he probably has to win that plus OH-01.

Joe Biden needs to win a district like this by a margin like this. As noted, a + 11 shift Statewide would give him a narrow Victory. The problem is at least the predominantly black District in Cleveland realistically doesn't have room to shift + 11 more democratic, in the Columbus Democrats vote sink District likewise would have a difficult time growing that much. which would shrink the Statewide percentage a bit to make it a true horse race.

Trump won the state by about 8%, so an 11% swing could make up for ground elsewhere. You also have to figure in turnout as well. I'm not sure what the population is for each district, but I imagine OH-06 is well below the median district and OH-03 and OH-12 are well above it. I was looking at both Brown and DeWine's wins in 2018. Brown managed to win 9/16 districts on a 7% win, which is rather impressive considering how strong the gerrymander is. I don't think Biden can cut into Trump's margins anywhere near what Brown did in many of those predominantly rural districts like OH-06 and OH-04. Clinton won OH-03 by 38% and Brown won it by 48%. Biden will probably have to win it by at least Brown's margin, if not win it by more than 50%. Biden needs to be pushing 70% (or nearing a 40% win) in Franklin County to win Ohio.

I don't think Biden can win Ohio with 4/16 like Obama did in 2012, but I think he can with 6/16. He'll need to keep OH-12 very close, probably within 3% at most. I'd also keep a close on OH-14, a more suburban district with a good amount of Obama/Trump voters. Biden doesn't have to win there (if he does, it's easily over), but if he keeps it within 5%, I think he'll win statewide.

Fwiw, since I was asked my opinion on the ground earlier, I do believe that if Biden doesn't win Franklin County by 40 points, he'll at least come close

And how do you think the state is going to end up? I’m thinking he needs to do better than Brown in Franklin County because he won’t/can’t do as well as Brown in the eastern half of the state (particularly the Southeast).

It's kind of interesting. National polling has been great for Biden. District polling has generally been amazing for Biden. Swing state polling only lukewarm for Biden, compared to national polls and district polls.

That’s basically almost the opposite of 2016. Back then, it was many of the underlying district polls that were showing what was eventually going to happen. Apart from some strong polling for Clinton after the debates and Access Hollywood, the national polling was mediocre for her. It was always the state polling that was her strongest area, especially in the Midwestern freiwal.
