Rasmussen poll: Trump 48%, Biden 45% in Ohio
With one day until Election Day, Rasmussen Reports on Monday released its latest presidential election poll for Ohio, finding incumbent President Donald Trump to be at 48% and former Vice President Joe Biden at 45% among likely voters. This is a three-point jump for President Trump in the Buckeye State from a Rasmussen poll two weeks ago.
While many experts say that the victor of this contentious election will most likely be decided in another Rust-Belt swing state, Pennsylvania, Ohio still remains crucial for Trump keeping his seat at the Resolute desk. In 2016, Trump won Ohio by eight points, with just over 51% of the vote.
It is important to note that over 2.9 million mail-in ballots have already been returned to election clerks as of Monday, the U.S. Elections Project has reported. Rasmussen found that 60% of Ohio voters have already voted.
According to the same survey, Rasmussen found that 3% are voting for a non-major-party candidate and that 4% of likely voters are undecided.
The pollster says that there is a 3.5% margin of error with a 95% level of confidence in the survey conducted between October 31 and November 1 among 800 likely voters in Ohio.

Biden’s 60 Minutes Interview Horrifies White House: ‘Does NOT Reflect the OFFICIAL Position’
Uh oh. Someone let President Joe Biden speak by himself again and damage control immediately ensued. President Joe Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview which aired on CBS Sunday was 60 minutes of pure torture for viewers and 60 minutes of pure angst for the White House; everyone but the president himself.
60 Minutes’ official Twitter account publicly called out the President’s answers with an embarrassing statement that his own administration was in disagreement with him:
“President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the vent of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.”

NEW: Asked on @60Minutes if US would defend Taiwan if it came under attack, Biden — again — says yes.
PELLEY: "To be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"
BIDEN: "Yes."
(WH again says US policy hasn't changed.)

CBS’ Scott Pelley also discussed inflation; an issue drastically affecting the welfare and wellbeing of families. Biden deflected with zero sympathy:
60 Min: "What can you do better to lower inflation?"
Biden: "inflation rate month to month was just up an inch."
60 Min:"You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"
Biden: "You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%'"
60 Min: "It's the highest rate in 40 years." pic.twitter.com/DEwugGct4d

As for President Biden’s son Joe, he is sticking with the narrative that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows and that “there’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”
Biden also said that while the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” in response to being asked if he is fit to be President, Biden did not commit to saying whether or not he will run for re-election. His “intention” is to run again, “but that’s just intention” he said. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

60 Min: "Are you committed to running again?"
