Donald Trump leads among Ohio likely voters in a CNN/ORC poll, the second released today indicating a lead for Trump in the swing state.

Trump leads Hillary Clinton by four points, 50-46. His lead moves to five points, 46-41, when third party candidates are included, with Libertarian Gary Johnson at 8 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent.

A Bloomberg poll of Ohio likely voters released this morning showed a similar lead for Trump, 48-43.

The CNN/ORC poll was conducted via live telephone interview Sept. 7-12 among 769 likely Ohio voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

TPM’s PollTracker Average in Ohio shows Trump leading Clinton, 47.3 to 45.1.

    With a reported 3.5 error rate?!?!? More BS.

    1. “606 interviews were conducted among landline respondents and 400
      interviews among cell phone respondents.”

    2. “Among those likely voters, 31% described themselves as Democrats, 32% described themselves as Republicans and 37% described themselves as independents or members of another party”

    Edit: They pulled the same BS in their Florida.
