Trump, meanwhile, is playing worse here than any Republican contender in Cuyahoga county (Ohio)

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Hillary Clinton has a predictably comfortable lead in Cuyahoga County, according to new polling by Baldwin Wallace University and cleveland.com.

But she is performing beneath benchmarks Barack Obama set in a region that has been a firewall for Democratic presidential hopefuls looking to win Ohio and its prized 18 electoral votes.

Donald Trump, meanwhile, is playing worse here than any Republican contender since at least 1960. And many remain undecided or unsatisfied with the two major-party candidates.

But Johnson won't get 3.7% and Stein certainly won't get 1.6% (she got .2% in 2012, about 1400 votes).

The Baldwin Wallace poll, with 14% unsure, and a combined 10%+ for Stein and Johnson is a joke, and not even close to predictive for election day results.

Obama got between 68 and 69 in both elections. Romney got 30% in Cuyahoga in 2012.
