No this isn’t a reliable poll. “Registered” voters is a bad measure in any case, but even worse in OH because of the state’s habit of putting anyone who didn’t vote in the last primary into the “unaffiliated/independent” bin.
These people don’t vote (40% vs 73-76% for Rs/Ds). Also, pretty sure Monmouth was the outfit I caught asking for the “youngest voter in the home” in the 2016 election.
Now, go to my twitter feed from last night & look at my thread on OH. “The Accountant” did a massive data breakdown of ACTUAL registered voters and HOW the UNAFFILIATEDS break down.
Bottom line, Rs hold about a 250,000-267,000 lead in real registrations, and Ds couldn’t win even if all the “Us” voted with them. They would need large numbers of Rs to cross the aisle.
Thanks for putting this phony, lonely poll in perspective.
A Balderson/Trump victory will C R U S H !!! the democrat/ media narrative. It will happen.
