Ohio Poll: Trump 48, Clinton 43

Published September 14, 2016 1:20pm ET



A new Bloomberg poll shows Trump leading Hillary Clinton by 5 points in Ohio:

The Republican nominee leads Clinton 48 percent to 43 percent among likely voters in a two-way contest and 44 percent to 39 percent when third-party candidates are included. The poll was taken Friday through Monday, as Clinton faced backlash for saying half of Trump supporters were a “basket of deplorables” and amid renewed concerns about her health after a video showed her stumbling as she left a Sept. 11 ceremony with what her campaign later said was a bout of pneumonia.

A YouGov/CBS poll conducted just before Clinton’s bad weekend showed Clinton with a 7-point lead over Trump in Ohio, while a Quinnipiac poll conducted just before that showed Trump up 4 points. In the Real Clear Politics average, Trump now leads Clinton by 0.5 percentage points in Ohio.
