New Bloomberg poll shows Trump leading in key state

The past week has been tough for Hillary Clinton, with her bout of pneumonia and the poor reception of her "basket of deplorables" comment regarding some Trump supporters.

A Bloomberg Politics poll conducted between September 9 and 12 reflects and adds to those difficulties, indicating that Trump is leading by 5 points in the important state of Ohio.

48 percent of the respondents who identified themselves as likely voters favored Trump, compared to the 43 percent of that group who voiced support for Clinton.

Since 1964, the winner of Ohio has taken the national race as well, notes Bloomberg.
