Big flip for Biden in northern Ohio

A month ago on a trip to Lake Erie Islands from Cincinnati it was all trump signs. Not thick, but what we saw far more Trump than Biden.

My nephew let me ride "shotgun" saturday when he drove back up to get the boat after having some repair work done. Almost no trump signs and a decent amount of Biden signs.

Anecdotal and small but for me, encouraging.

Northwest Ohio farm country and small towns. Sadly though, as you travel south, it thins out.

....to Cleveland on a business trip in October.

Southern and northern Ohio are entirely different. In Cincinnati most of the signs were republican, when I got to Columbus they were about 50/50, then approaching Cleveland.

What you saw is encouraging.

Saw an article recently about how that part of ohio is strongly shifting for Biden while the traditional blue collar Democratic parts are still strong for Trump. I think Ohio has the potential of coming around this year!!
