One interesting thing about the demographics break down of the poll is that its about 88% white while the state's voting age population is closer to 83%. Not saying the real world demographics are going to represent election day, but if the actual results reflect this poll, then there's still room for dems to grow in Ohio by increasing minority turnout next election.

As for Portman vs Stricklan, the short of the long is, Portman went on air early with very misleading ads claiming his opponent destroyed the Ohio economy (which isn't true, as he was governor during the 08 economic collapse, not his fault) which has really set the race early.

Every race has a deluge of negative ads. Toomey and the Republicans have run tons against McGinty as well. I don't get why it had such an effect in Ohio but basically none in other races, since they more or less cancel each other out. For whatever reason it seems like Dems have a very low floor in Ohio that isn't present in other states.

Part of it may be fitting with the Kasich narrative that he 'saved' Ohio as he got elected at the start of the recovery and is fairly popular here (though obviously not with me). If Kasich had lined up behind Trump and proclaimed that Trump was the bee's knees for the economy, the race might not be close in Ohio.

A self-selecting mail poll of RVs seems... problematic. I don't see any mention of a likely voter screen?

That's quite the strange poll method.

It's a weird methodology but it's got a fantastic track record:

2012 Sen: Brown 51-45 (actual 51-45)
2012 Pres: Obama 50-48 (actual 51-48)
2010 Gov: Kasich 49-47 (actual 49-47)
2008 Pres: Obama 52-46 (actual 52-47)

That's definitely gold standard material.  Why does Nate Silver still have a job?

Did Lit Digest nail the margins or just get the winner right?

So why is the "populist" Strickland doing 22 points worse than the far right neoliberal shill warmongering Wall Street banker bitch? I mean, his opponent is a mild mannered gay marriage supporting Bush budget director and former US trade representative. Pretty much the antithesis of a "populist." I thought "populism" was the key to Democratic success! I thought "populism" was popular! This can't be, Atlas told me these irrefutable facts! This state should be a Trump/Strickland landslide!

Their 1932 poll called FDR's margin within 1% of the actual result. Their 1924 poll had Coolidge's vote within 2% points. Not sure about 1920 or 1928.

So, this will act like Florida did last time and Florida will act more like Ohio did?

As a Democrat, I really want FL, NC and OH, simply to deny Trump the talking point that he beat Romney's electoral vote performance. I'm not confident about NC and thought OH was gone several weeks ago. Hopefully this poll and the YouGov poll are on to something.

Sad! Though GOLD STANDARD Marquette also turned out to be terrible. Only Selzer is still good.
