Donald Trump continues his lead in a new CNN/ORC poll of Ohio voters, following the second presidential debate and the release of a 2005 video where he makes offensive comments about women.
Trump leads Hillary Clinton by three points, 50-47, among likely Ohio voters in the poll.
When third-party candidates are included, Trump comes out four points ahead, 48-44, with Libertarian Gary Johnson polling at 4 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent.
The businessman’s lead in Ohio is similar to his four-point lead, 50-46, when CNN/ORC last surveyed the Buckeye State in September. In the four-way race, he led by five points, 46-41, with Johnson at 8 percent and Stein at 2 percent.
The CNN/ORC poll was conducted Oct. 10-15 among 774 likely Ohio voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
TPM’s PollTracker Average for the general election in Ohio shows Clinton leading Trump, 47.3 to 44.7.
Bullshit!! Methodology and starting working assumptions, please!

That’s an odd sort result considering how the number have been trending in Ohio. After one of the worst weeks a candidate can have, he picks a good chunk of support? Do the people of Ohio love sexual predictors or is this poll a little suspect?
What’s even more bizarre is Ohio is the state whose GOP Trump has divorced. You’d think his numbers there would be even lower considering Kasich and Borges want nothing to do with him.
According to Nate Silver the CNN/ORC polls have had a 2 - 3 point lean for Trump this year.
