Not just that, the county which is “northeast’ (where most of the voters were polled) includes heavily democratic and considerably more dependant Cleveland. Columbus is in the middle of the state. Why do you suppose a central Ohio newspaper would poll northeast Ohio and not Columbus??? (sarc)
and the caveat that Ohio has lost over 400,000 dems in the last 4 years seems to be lost on these pollsters and independents in Ohio up by 500,000 but they are still sticking to the 2008 models.
