Hillary Clinton holding narrowing lead over Bernie Sanders in Ohio, new poll finds

Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer

CLEVELAND, Ohio — With the Ohio primary less than a week away, ... A Quinnipiac University poll, released Wednesday, of likely Ohio voters found Clinton led Sanders 52 percent percent to 43 percent. The university's last poll, released Feb. 23, had shown Clinton with a 55 percent to 40 percent lead, and with the exception of a Feb. 24 Baldwin Wallace survey showing the race as a virtual tie, polling in Ohio generally has shown Clinton leading by double digits.
...
It's worth noting that Sanders on Tuesday night narrowly won the Democratic primary in neighboring Michigan, even though polling there consistently had shown Clinton with a double-digit lead. Some political observers have asked whether this raises questions about the accuracy of polls in other Midwestern states with open primaries, including Ohio and Illinois, which along with Florida, are among the states that will hold elections on March 15.

Here is a link and graph for the earlier Baldwin Wallace poll mentioned in today's article, above:



I'd include a graphic from today's 52% to 43% poll, but the article does not have one.

They seem to not be very accurate in open primary states and I'm not sure if Ohio is closed or not.

It's voter permissions.

In every state with zero voter suppression, Bernie earns a devastating win over Clinton.

When states limit voter rolls - especially the youth vote - Bernie does less well.

These are facts, not opinions. If you want to argue with these FACTS, present numbers or STFU. I'm so totally not interested in your (GOP-paid-for) opinions...

Whether or not Clinton manages to work the system in her favor to win this Presidential nomination, Bernie is the future of American politics. Clinton could actually pull out a win here and now, but if she wants to be successful she'll have to take on Bernie's mindset.

If she is President, God forbid, it will be war and Wall Street and to hell with the environment.

Bernie only needs to win every remaining primary by greater than 12% to collect enough delegates to secure the nomination.
