in ohio that's kasich. are an angry voter, you are a donald trump voter in both of these states tonight. >> david chalian, thank you. dana, i remember a few debates ago, donald trump was asked about his demeanor which often seems bombastic on the campaign trail. and he fully embraced the mantle of angry. >> that's so true. i was watching david's reporting there and the numbers thinking back to 2014, covering ted cruz on the senate floor when he was the one who embodied all of the anger at washington. and little did he know then that donald trump would come along and capture the angry sentiment out there. and that he would be left with the merely dissatisfied. it's kind of remarkable. >> there are other candidates who we've seen come and go, who were vessels for apger in some ways. senator rand paul, governor chris christie. but someone was in the angry lane. donald trump crowding them out completely. and rand paul and chris christie became footnotes in this campaign. >> it really is so true. it was hard to

we got a lot of polling in florida and ohio tonight. we don't have very much in illinois, in missouri and in north carolina. which makes it more suspenseful. but also, it means that we need to turn to more of the experts. hello, chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." is this an anecdotal story. >> it could be. it looks, by it looks like virginia. what did we see in virginia. it was one of those where there was a whole bunch of independents to stop trump. that was marco rubio's best state t was the state that trump was the most precarious of any of the other southern states he has so h so far. that's what struck me of looking at the independents to democratic. it looks more like virginia. that tells me even though you would say independents have been helping trump, in this case, this feels like it's an anti-trump. >> it might mean worst news for trump in ohio. is it -- any way to tell if it's going to have any sort of effect on the democratic race to extract that many? >> there is anecdotal evidence in michigan for instance, a phenome

in southwest ohio, a strong tea party pocket. and we have some very strong african-american population that would support hillary clinton. >> up here. >> but some in southwest ohio, and in cincinnati, and also some progressives, and then in cleveland, we have a lot of blue collar republicans and democrats. and so that's a population that john kasich has been able to draw on in past years, but the question is whether those voters go over to donald trump this year and then cleveland, i think we see strong support generally speaking for hillary clinton, because of the african-american population. >> why do you think cleveland, the state of ohio, has been the bellwether for the country. putting it altogether, why is it america? it seems to be the bellwether of america. if it goes republican. >> the other two pockets we haven't talked about are northwest ohio, which is a combination of rural and blue collar. auto manufacturer oing that is close to -- >> peoria. >> toledo. >> that's right. also, we have southeast ohio, which is rural oh

reporters at polling stations in florida and ohio. sy has it been over there? >> reporter: well, wolf, it's been pretty steady. you have a mad dash of people coming here to the polling place. people leaving work, casting ballots, you know, polls remain open until 7:30 tonight. it should be pretty full until then. we chose this area of north olmstead, it's diverse, a large amount of republicans and democratic voters. one thing important to point out, here in ohio during the primary, you you can either poll a republican ballot or democratic ballot. if you're a democrat and want to vote for john kasich or donald trump, you're absolutely free to do so. >> i understand you're hearing democrats actually voting republican. what more can you tell us? that's what they've been telling you, right? >> that's right. unsurprisingly in our nonscientific survey we talked to a lot of people, a lot of republicans voting for john kasich but a lot of democrats as well. . that could be key. weave spoken to a number of donald trump supporters on the republi

looking at recent polling, he is behind in ohio. but look at michigan. these are young voters he energized, how much does that matter? >> it does matter. the sanders campaign moved aggressively. t judge ruling in the favor of 17-year-olds can vote. in particular the fact that this week is spring break for some of the colleges across ohio, that could help offset some of that. but again, that's only on margins. bernie sanders knows he has to win among the white working class voters in ohio and he has done well in other states. but the clinton campaign has a strong connection to ohio as well. this state resurrected her, gave her new life in 2008. i expect a close race on tuesday here in ohio. >> jeff, zeleny, live in ohio. thank you. >>> battling hard it take those delegates in ohio, remember, winner take all. they have a huge opportunity to make their pitch directly to the voters tonight. right here live on cnn. let's talk about all of it. cnn political analyst are here with me. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> let's start with you michael. what i

polling in ohio is a much closer race. if the sitting governor john kasich can hold off a trump charge, the republican race could be completely altered. kasich was on fox and friends while in westerville sharing on the possibility of a trump-kasich unity ticket. >> there's no way i could team up with donald trump. no way. i'm going to be the nominee. we're going to move across the country with a positive attitude of bringing people together with a record i've had in ohio and washington, a positive record reminding us we're americans before anything else and fix the things that haunt us and bother us today. i can promise you that. >> reporter: jeff flock with what voters have been saying, we are less than 4 1/2 hours from the polls closing there, jeff? >> reporter: i had one lady walk past and said contested convention, which tells me she did not vote for donald trump. he would be the only one destined to get the nomination before we get to a contested convention. it is governor kasich who has the potential, if he wins today

poll numbers show clinton with a slight lead in ohio. another big race here locally is the democratic u-s senate primary.cincinnati councilman p-g sittenfeld, former ohio governor ted strickland, and kelli prather are competing for the seat! for a shot at john boehner's vacant house seat in southwest ohio. nine on your side has crews throughout the state to get the first reaction when the results come in.reporter evan millward is live near cleveland at kasich's watch party... evan, what's it like? just an hour away now from supporters gathering here - -- check out this video we took coming in this afternoon - - a little behind the scenes look at how they get a watch party like this set up.there is media here from around the world.and the eyes of the nation are on this race.john kasich sparring with donald trump not just over issues like immigration and economy - and rhetoric - but also over tghe nomination. a win in ohio for trump could put him in the sights of that nomination - and knock kasich out of the race entirely. here's what the g

democrats in ohio like hillary clinton. in the state of ohio come out, i'm not sure that it's going to be enough to take it away from hillary. >> clinton people are worried about ohio. >> yes, they should be. young people love bernie and that's great. but the anger on the left about trade, and some of these trade deals, 20 years old and they're still angry about them. >> the jobs are still gone. >> well that's the thing. there's a lot of anger on left that i think a lot of elites in my party did not see. i have to say i was there, i was in the room. hillary was against nafta. >> she was against it. >> yes, she was privately. i was there. she counselled against supporting nafta. it was her husband's administration he made the decisions, she supported it and went along but she's been more of a trade skeptic than her husband. but you've got to take the good with the bad, i guess. >> and the person who ran nafta through from the white house through congress, a young staffer named rahm emanuel. >> i've heard of him. >> who is the

mariani - earlier polls are in ohio? dr. mariani - earlier in the show we told you hamilton county says they will be fine tomorrow... of course they had issues in november with the e-poll books that delayed the results for the entire state... what could happen tomorrow if hamilton county dr. mack mariani.. thank you for being here... thank you for being here... ohio governor john kasich's on marco rubio to urge his supporters to drop a lawsuit that would take kasich off the pennsylvania ballot. the suit says kasich doesn't have enough signatures to appear on the ballot on april 26th. donald trump commented on the whole situation while he was in west chester on sunday. take a listen. have the signatures. does anyone know that? he didn't qualify in pennsylvania, so if he doesn't qualify in pennsylvania he shouldn't be running on tuesday, right?" contends that the suit was filed 13 a three-judge matter in the coming weeks. we continue to follow breaking news of the touched down half north of downtown we'll have a damage assessme

a lot of focus in florida and ohio. winner take all states. marco rubio could be in serious trouble in florida right now. if he loses that and he is trailing donald trump in polls, this would be the last day in the race for him. ohio is a different story. it is winner take all, but john kasich has a solid chance to win that and he will live to fight another day. that is interesting. don't sleep on illinois, missouri and north carolina. those are states that ted cruz is campaigning in. the delegate nomination is different than ohio and florida. it is not winner take all. ted cruz could come out with a lot of delegates. people think if donald trump wins florida, that is not the case. ted cruz could emerge looking good. >> we have been looking at ohio, illinois and missouri and how many jobs have been lost. looking at those numbers. you know what happened in michigan and the anti-trade concern about middle class manufacturing jobs resonating. you look at ohio. it looks a lot like michigan did on super tuesday last week. the last minute push of ads

ohio. this is the podium at this hangar in vandalia, ohio, just outside the city airport there. thousands of people there waiting to see mr. trump for the first time since that rally last night was canceled in chicago. of course, we'll bring you the remarks as soon as everything here gets under way. >> yeah, but what a scene it is, victor, from the crowds in chicago last night. look what was happening then. >> these are protesters scuffling with trump supporters. fistfights broke out. trump's campaign canceled the rally altogether. and this morning, donald trump responded on twitter, calling the demonstrators, "thugs who shut down our first amendment rights in chicago." all of this, of course, as illinois gets ready to hold its republican primary on tuesday, just as ohio will. >> yeah, we'll be covering this, of course, from all angles. cnn politics executive editor mark preston, cnn political commentator and trump supporter kaley mceneny will help us break this down. we start with phil mattingly live at the trump rally there in vandalia. >> so, phil, help us understand what the

and gearing up for primary voting in ohio. who' s leading in the polls prior to the third rendition of super tuesday. [captioning made possible by wlwt-tv] >> from cincinnati' s wlwt, leading the way, this is wlwt news 5 today. lisa: good morning to you. i' mark hayes is out this morning. it is very springlike. randi: can we start planting now , i got tweeted over the weekend. it seems like spring is here. towards the end of the week, some 30' s for lows creeping back in. warm air in a chance for showers and thunderstorms. that will be the case over the next 48 hours. you can see some clouds and patchy fog in a few spots. not everywhere. over the last hour or so, we haven' t seen much in the way of rainfall. we take a look at a wider view along the ohio river, rain showers and those are moving in our direction. the rain will start to creep on hand. right now most places almost 60 degrees to start the day. lunchtime, rain showers arrive, 63. expect temperatures around 66. we will talk about a better chance for storms tomorrow. l

former secretary of state in ohio. trump called our principles pack. let's talk about trump's rhetoric in a minute. first though, you oversee elections here in this state. what odds are you giving john kasich tonight? >> let me say the turnout this cycle is closer to the turnout in 2008 than 2012. for me, it comes down to how much of this was baked into the cake with early voting. it looks as if pro trump vote was baked in the cake and it gave me an almost insurmountable margin of lead. the governor has a great ground game and commands the appearatu in the state and claim they have a good early voting strategy. and it's all going to come out, i think, in the wash this evening. >> today, as you probably know, paul ryan, speaker of the house said despite the comments donald trump made about women, mexicans, despite the violence in rallies, he will still support the eventual nominee even if it is donald trump. can republicans really say that they hate this rhetoric, but then turn around then embrace the candidate behind i

the question is can he win here in ohio? e's hoping for a big win as well as in missouri and illinois. that can give him new momentum. hillary clinton, meanwhile, could lose those three midwest states and still win the night in terms of delegates. a pair of msnbc town halls last night, both candidates saved some sharp attacks for donald trump. >> when you are inciting mob violence, which is what trump is doing in those clips, there's a lot of memories that people have. you know, they're in the dna. people remember mob violence that led to lynching. people remember mob violence that led to people being shot, being grabbed, being mistreated. >> we have a major candidate for president of the united states, donald trump, who is literally inciting violence among his supporters. when he says that he is prepared to pay the legal fees for somebody who sucker punches somebody, what he is really essentially saying is, go do it, supporters. go beat up people. >> a permission slip? >> absolutely. >> nbc's kristen welker is in miami for u

, in columbus, ohio, let me bring in jim single, he is a political reporter from the columbus dispatch and jackie kucinich. she is an ohio native, a columbus native so we are in her hometown. >> i'm jealous. >> well, jim, let me start with you. this is your paper this morning, put this up on the screen, the columbus dispatch the head line satisfied kasich swimming upstream. he has to win next week to keep his campaign alive. a lot of republicans are cheering with him because they say the only way to stop trump is to get kasich to win in ohio. he is leading in the poll but it is close. what is he facing in his home state next tuesday? >> john kasich won reelection in 2013 by 31 points, he has an over 60% approval rate in the state. if you ask many analysts will he said people say yes. >> so why is it close? >> this is an election year we have never seen before. donald trump is very close and there's two other polls that were receipts leased yesterday that had trump up by 6 points. you wouldn't think that kasich would be struggling right now but he is -- and we've talked to some folks at

there's a reason why it's being held up in ohio. and bernie sanders both fighting for delegates up there. could be important as well, in north carolina. you have a textile industry down there that was hit hard by the economy. we expect to have hillary clinton try to talk, john, about the economy and real solutions which she thinks are achievable solutions to try to turn things around and get jobs back to america. bernie sanders will continue to hit home on trade. that worked for him well in michigan, try to tie hillary clinton to what he says were bad trade deals, nafta, promotion authority and also dealing with china. it's going to be epic in many ways. it could be a turning point in campaign. it seeps overused, but every week is a turning point. it's a major moment in the campaign. >> thank you so much. thank you for setting up the town hall. it should be a great event. on that programming note, it's sunday night, the state of ohio. 8:00 p.m. eastern time. hillary clinton and bernie sanders, they sit down for a democratic town hall

the stakes enormous in ohio for both parties. we got a kick out of the front page of "the cincinnati inquirer" today. "ohio, it is up to you." let's get right to jonathan karl tonight. what happens if donald trump wins in ohio, what happens if he loses there? >> reporter: well, after his win in florida, if he wins in ohio, he really seals the deal. donald trump will be well on his way to clinching the republican nomination. it will take some time, but well on his way. if he loses, david, that means we almost certainly will see a contested republican convention in cleveland this summer. >> but jon, you heard cecilia point out that team clinton holding its breath tonight on ohio. she's in the lead, but still too close to call. how important is ohio for hillary clinton tonight? >> reporter: well, it's less crucial because hillary clinton is going to leave tonight with more delegates, whether or not she wins ohio. but symbolically, it is enormously important, because hillary clinton needles to show that she can win in those all-import

to ohio's governor john kasich and he may end up with a fourth win in missouri. on the democratic side, hillary clinton won four states including ohio. ohio, illinois, missouri were all in question. now, missouri is still too close to call this morning. missouri with 100% of the precincts in, hillary clinton is leading bernie sanders, but it's less than 1%. we're still waiting for supervisional and absentee ballots. the same is true on the republican side. donald trump is leading ted cruz by 1,700 votes. we're not officially calling it because it's going to take some time to get the numbers in, but he is leading there. both donald trump and hns understa understandably and deservedly celebrating their victories. >> look. this is my second home, florida. to win by that kind of a number is incredible. >> we know we will add to our delicate lead to roughly 300 with over 2 million votes nationwide. we are moving closer to securing the democratic party nomination and winning this election in november. >> all right. let's talk about this big election, jay. joining us now

he is in ohio right now. jim acosta is outfront in vie a vienna, ohio. donald trump was going to be in florida. he'll be there tomorrow night for his speech at the end of the voting, but now he is in ohio. what does this say? >> reporter: that's right. he was supposed to be in florida just about all day today except for that rally in north carolina. they scrapped an event in florida so he could add this one in ohio just outside of youngstown. he's worried about john kasich. just a few moments ago donald trump said john kasich can't make america great again. he's gone after the governor of ohio again talking about these trade deals, which is a big issue in the rust belt area of youngstown, ohio, and other portions of this region. one thing you can say about this event so far in terms of how things have been going the last few days, erin, there hasn't been any trouble. no demonstrators, no protests, no clashes. essentially, it's been a pretty tame rally by recent standards, but we can tell you that have been putting in some different security measures throu

that's when the polls close in ohio and north carolina. half hour later, we're going to get fresh results when all the polls close in florida, illinois, and missouri. let's go to jake tapper now for more. jake? >> reporter: wolf, on this incredibly important night in the presidential race, we have, of course, standing by at all the candidates' headquarters. let's first go to jim acosta at donald trump headquarters in florida. jim? >> reporter: jake, a top trump campaign official here in florida says donald trump will win florida and you're going to hear a lot later on tonight and tomorrow about how donald trump did so well in the state against marco rubio on his home turf. this top official says it's not very well known, but trump has been laying the groundwork quietly for four to five years, traveling the state meeting with top republican officials. they point to his name recognition in this state, owning properties worth tens of millions of dollars like mar-a-lago behind me employing thousands of workers. the official also points to those

he also made two stops in northern ohio earlier in the day. lisa: with no prize for second place, ohio governor john kasich knows he has to come out on top today. he says he is confident ohioans will have his back. mr. kasich: i feel really good about it. if i' m the nominee, i' m going to win the general election. we just have to take care of these primary states and see if we get enough delegates to go the convention strong and emerge as the adult at the convention. mark: governor kasich has a long way to go before the convention, and he also has to compete with the polls showing are a tight race in ohio, and the republican front-runner was back in the buckeye state on monday, telling his voters he is the right choice. mr. trump: your governor is absentee. and listen to this, because i know. because i was there. i go back because i work. i still have job. you got to do your job. mark: a new poll from quinnipiac university shows trump and kasich are tied with ohio voters. lisa: as you head out to cast your ballot today, wlwt is leading the way

marco rubio is a distant fourth in ohio. uggests that his support vote for kasich in order to beat trump. kasich told cnn's state of the union jake tapper why ohio voters should choose him over trump. >> there's no question that trump has created a toxic atmosphere pitting one group against another and name calling and all those kinds of things. i think there are people that would go to a rally that would look to disrupt. look, the environment is there and he needs to back off of this and start being more aspirational, telling people we can get it together. you can go into a room and get people depressed a he do nd dow angry or you can give them hope. i think we need to be hopeful in america, not depressed. >> all right. can kasich parlay that all into a win in ohio and the 66 delegates that go with it? i want to bring in ohio state governor, a democratic, a hillary clinton supporter and former minority leader in the ohio state senate. good to see you. >> happy to be here. >> he has felt very confident about ohio. there's bee

ed henry is in columbus, ohio. but first fox news senior national correspondent john roberts in westchester with the latest on the republicans. john? >> doug, good afternoon to you. you know most presidential candidates, presidents for that matter deal with protesters at many events. this is an unavoidable nuisance. some like bill clinton developed certain lines. but in truth, donald trump is making sport of it. at a rally in bloomington, illinois trump offered a protester that the crowd had identified the chance to speak out. listen. >> let's hear your voice. go ahead let's hear it. do you have any voice. come on? >> reporter: all of this reached a new level on friday when trump cancelled his rally on friday because thousands of protesters infiltrated the rally. yesterday in dayton, ohio a man jumped the kbard. he had to be tackled by secret service. looking back at chicago trump said the protesters weren't exercising their right to free speech they were trying to prevents his. >> you had a group of people, 3,000 p

the arc 8300 people in prison in ohio. today there's 50,600 imprisoned in ohio. out a subset, the total the day i started in ohio's prison system during my career as a teacher's aide there were 291 women incarcerated in the entire state of ohio wanted around the campus, 291. today we have 4300. it has been a trend that is significant. and if you think about the lowest violent crime rate since 1969, it's illogical. we've had to pull system of sentencing. we've had some more current trends and commitments are down a bit overall, but 6% increase in the number of, the percent of women coming in. i want to talk about women in just a second. as we look at the united states of women, so what do we know? it's an interesting thing. it's hard to see this, but we passed house bill 86 that's caused a significant decrease, in fact a drop of almost 1000 inmates as we passed this the first of our administration. it basically said first time nonviolent offenders should not be sent to prison. that's a pretty remarkable, dramatic thing, and it was a 14 month consecutive reduction

john kasich, he's been elected twice here statewide in ohio. it was a big re-election win a couple of years ago. what do you think that's going to translate in terms of loyalty to him. how many republicans feel this is my governor, my guy, i want to be there for him next week. >> ohio voters are classically not fickle but classically independent-minded and what they want to do, we're hearing people are pulling ballots for republicans to vote specifically for trump, maybe they're going to pull up democratic ballot in tuesday's election and vote for hillary clinton and bernfulie instead of voting republican at all. he has a really good shot. he's a well-liked governor. i myself was at a trump rally last week and people said i really like john kasich. i think he's been a good governor but i'm really enthused by trump and what he has to say. >> i don't want to imply the people that i've met at trump rallies would condone any violence or punching people out but there is this elevated level of, as i said, intensity you feel. >> there's an energy there

hillary clinton in ohio, she had a narrow lead in the polling heading into ohio which made a lot of people very unsteady about predicting anything in ohio given what happened last week in michigan, we now have a little bit more insight into how hillary clinton put together that win in ohio. >> steve, i'm sorry, i got to cut you off before you begin, because we have the other critical call we were waiting for, ohio gop has gone to the governor of ohio, john kasich is on the board. >> his first win. >> his first state and it happens to be his state.

there was no unrest here in westchester, ohio. there was no pepper spray used right here in westchester, ohio. donald trump got through a town hall with a couple of protesters removed. and you're right, he did have secret service agents all around him. when he was doing this town hall rally. and right now i can point out to you, fredricka, he is working in a rope line. this is something he did not do last night in kansas city because obviously because of security precautions. he is working that rope line right now. surrounded by secret service agents. but things seem to be getting back to normal to some extent. i will tell you, during the course of this town hall event that had here in westchester, he went up to a couple of ladies during his remarks and gave them hugs. so it hasn't interrupted his flow too much in terms of the message he is trying to deliver. and i should also report in addition to all of the activity surrounding these protests, there is this political contest going on and that's it fight for the ohio primary comin
