Some say today’s Americans are more divided than ever before; there are those who support Biden wholeheartedly and others who couldn’t think of a better president than Trump. However, it seems that some Americans are switching sides. A new poll shows far less Ohio residents will be voting for Trump in November than did in the past.

What’s especially interesting about Ohio is that it is known as the “beacon state,” as every president its residents have chosen has won the election since 1964. With the exception of 2020.

In 2016, 51.7% of Ohio residents voted Red, and a whopping 53.3% chose Trump in 2020. However, it now seems that the controversial leader is losing support in the Buckeye State.

While that still means that Trump will likely win the state, the 7% margin is extremely telling.

While the polls did not ask those surveyed why they were voting for their preferred candidate, one theory is that Trump’s recent guilty verdict has led some to the other side.

A jury in New York decided that Trump was, in fact, guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The former president will be sentenced on July 11, and he faces enormous fines or even four years in prison for each felony account.

As a matter of fact, before the announcement, more than 67% of voters reported that a conviction will make no difference to their November vote. And an almost unbelievable 25% of Republicans said they would be more likely to vote from Trump if he was found guilty.

And while both Biden and Trump both have millions of supporters, they also both have millions of enemies. Many Americans absolutely detest the idea of having either man in the White House. Additionally, many Americans argue that neither candidate is the right choice, and yet, they have to choose.

However, 18% say they are voting for Independent front-runner, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Therefore, some experts believe that Ohioans who previously voted for Trump aren’t turning Blue, but instead voting for the only man in the race who offers real change.

The vast majority of Ohioans, both with the Republican and Democratic parties, say that Trump is better for their personal and business finances than President Biden.

Moreover, 59% of all Ohioans and 13% of the state’s Democrats, report that their finances were far better under Trump. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling to pay their bills, many will likely be voting with their wallets in November.

However, in regards to postulating the outcome of an election, 53 to 47 is still a wildly close race. At this point in time, even with the many polls being conducted in Ohio and around the country, it’s impossible to say for sure which former president will win the race this year.
