Biden closing the gap in previously Trump-heavy Ohio

Al Jazeera  

Politics and national crises turn Ohio into a true battleground, even after Trump easily won the US state in 2016. But lagging population growth, demographic stagnation and industry losses have contributed to the state’s rightward shift since 2012, culminating in President Donald Trump’s definitive eight-point victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the last presidential election in 2016. ”But then this last year unfolded.” Ohio’s high margin in favour of Trump in 2016 already put the state uncharacteristically out of step with national voting trends, in a race where Trump won the Electoral College while resoundingly losing the popular vote. Also in Trump’s column, the state has 1.9 million registered Republicans and about 300,000 fewer registered Democrats. “The working people, hopefully, the ones that jumped ship because Donald Trump made a promise that he couldn’t keep, didn’t keep, and pretty much ignored, are now starting to understand that Joe Biden is a calm guy that can in fact, with his history, deliver.” Still, after a surprise walloping last time, Democrats are taking nothing for granted.
