Obama has not seen the same level of support from young people in Ohio that he has benefited from in other states. He leads Clinton only 49-46 among voters aged 18-29 and trails 48-44 with respondents 30-45.

Although he has the same high level of support from African Americans that he has tended to enjoy (75-18), his gap among white voters is considerable. Clinton has a 59-34 advantage with that group.

“It looks like the Clinton campaign stepped up with their backs against the walls,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “This is the first key state PPP has polled in where Clinton did better the weekend before the election than she was doing ten days out.”

A particular problem for Obama is limited support among male voters, who he has dominated in states where he has done well. In Ohio he leads that group just 47-46.
