Watch Live Stream: Governor Mike Pence Rally in Ashland and Marieta, Ohio

Donald Trump's running mate is stumping throughout the state on Oct. 25.

ASHLAND, OH - Governor Mike Pence is campaigning in Ohio on Oct. 25. The candidate is making stops in Swanton, Ashland, and Marietta. The Ashland rally is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. and the Marietta rally is scheduled for 6 p.m.

The race in Ohio is so tight that a new poll from Suffolk University has Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tied at 45 percent in the state. The poll of 500 likely Ohio voters was conducted just prior to the third presidential debate. Trump led by 3 points in Ohio a month ago in the same poll, holding a 42-to-39 percent advantage over Clinton.

“The events over the past month have resulted in a dramatic shift among those Ohioans who self-identified as independents,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Research Center in Boston. “In September, Trump led among this group by twenty-seven points. Today, he only leads by six points, and ten percent of independents still have not decided. If Clinton takes the lead among independents, she wins Ohio. If those remaining undecided independents tip back to Trump, he will prevail.”

Trump spent yesterday campaigning throughout Florida. After holding his own in Sunshine State polls, the audio tape of the candidate saying lewd things about women demolished his sway over Floridians. He's attempting to regain steam in that battleground state. He'll return to Ohio Oct. 27 to lead a rally in Springfield.
