CNN Gives Trump The Lead In Ohio By Under Polling Voters Under 50 Years Old
By Jason Easley on Wed, Sep 14th, 2016 at 5:18 pm
A new poll showing Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton by 4 points in Ohio set the media buzzing, but a look at the polling data reveals that CNN under polled voters under age 50.

There was something odd about the age of the respondents:










Also an odd party mix
Party breakdown for the poll was 33 percent Republican, 29 percent Democrats, and 34 percent independents. Exit polling shows that Ohio's electorate in the 2012 presidential election was 38 percent Democratic, 31 percent Republican, and 31 percent independent, while in 2004 it was 40 percent Republican, 35 percent Democratic, and 25 percent independent.

So the question is, will the people who vote resemble the electorate of 2012 or 2004?
