Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by four points in Ohio, according to a poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports and released on Wednesday.
The poll of 750 likely 2020 general election voters in Ohio shows the former vice president with the support of 47 percent of respondents, while the president has the support of 43 percent. Only four percent were undecided. The poll was conducted between July 15 and 16 and has a four percent margin of error.
President Trump easily won the Buckeye State by nine points in 2016, 52 percent to 43 percent. This key battleground state, along with its critical 18 electoral college votes, now appears to be in play in the 2020 race for the White House.
With just over three months until election day, Wednesday’s poll is not an outlier. The Real Clear Politics Average of Polls shows Biden with a 2.3 percentage point lead over Trump. Though the results of all three polls included in that average are within the margin of error, the dramatic difference between current polling and the president’s margin in 2016 suggests that a Trump 2020 victory in Ohio is not the sure thing many Republican insiders considered it to be at the beginning of 2020.
There are a number of reasons for this.
