There are different dynamics.

Ohio has been trending blue which is why a “Conservative” like Kasich was elected Governor.

Kasich has favorable poll numbers in his home state.

I believe the Ohio Republican Party endorsed Kasich.

Close elections generally come down to turn out. If Trump supporters are the more motivated, Trump will win.

But, if by some stretch of the imagination, Kasich got the nomination, Ohio would need a new Governor.

Boy that is devastating!! That letter needs to be displayed a lot. Kasich is not only for AMNESTY but he is against the second amendment and was a hero to Bill Clinton!!!

OHIO likes amnesty? Hard to believe.

Well, this will give Trump a great opportunity to “overperform” against the polls tomorrow, just as he did in Michigan (where Kasich was also slated to do well).

Romney is Correct About Americans Being Government-Dependent

Let me point out one thing. As the sitting Governor, depending on how this poll sampled, there would likely be a certain number of those polled, who would not want to risk openly going against Kasich.

He is far more likely to appear stronger than he actually is. Do not believe this is a factor with respect to Donald Trump.

This, then, offers a reason for Trump supporters to work all the harder, the last few hours.

I think the anti-Trump forces are combining in Ohio to stop Trump.

Kasich is a lame duck governor. He’s in his second term (reelected to a four year term in 2014) in a two term limit State. He’s the odds on favorite to challenge Sherrod Brown for a Senate seat in 2018, unless pigs fly and he becomes president.

We will see.

If Kasich wins, he will have 25% of the delegates Trump has already.

You would think in his home state he would do better
than this. I would love to see Trump take it.

You guys are hilarious. You act as if you are discovering dirt on Kasich that has never before been exposed. There is nothing new here. All has been out there since the first time he ran for governor.

That’s the problem with Kasick, Cruz and to some extent Rubio. They have sailed through the primary easily because only trump has been vetted. So now everyone thinks Cruz and Kasick are pure as driven snow. Hillary will not them get off so easily. That is what primaries are for. Learn everything about the candidate before the nomination. The Democratic Party learned from Edwards that perceived perfection can bite back big.

I doubt very seriously Trump loses Ohio to Kasich no matter what this poll says.....especially after Kasich’s stupid amnesty comments today.
