J.D. Vance, a New York Times best-selling author, is tied for first place in the Ohio GOP Senate primary race, a new poll shows.
The Protect Ohio Values PAC poll, released on Wednesday, finds that Vance has gained four points since February — running at 18 percent and tied with fellow Republicans Mike Gibbons and Josh Mandel, who are also at 18 percent.
Most significant, though, is that the poll shows Gibbons stagnating with 18 percent after having failed to gain any traction since February, whereas Vance and Mandel have each risen to the top of the pack among the five leading candidates.
Meanwhile, Jane Timken, the former chairwoman of the Ohio Republican Party, has dropped in the polls from 12 percent in February to just nine percent in March among primary voters. Matt Dolan, a longtime critic of former President Trump, has similarly flatlined. Dolan has gained one percent since February.
The poll had voters watch the PAC’s latest ad for Vance where he outlines a fierce immigration agenda that includes fully funding Trump’s border wall, ending welfare benefits for illegal aliens, and defunding sanctuary jurisdictions.
After voters watched the ad, Vance’s support shot up to 30 percent against Gibbons’ 18 percent and Mandel’s 16 percent. In this scenario, Dolan trails with 12 percent, while Timken stumbles behind with 10 percent.

thats a bonus and also confirmation he is a GOP Outsider. Thiel is a Trump supporter.
PT is like the Koch bros. and Mercers before him and Musk after him. They are billionaires sent over to fund, play up to, flatter, and/or otherwise influence the opposition.
He is not an Ohio insider, but rather a eGOP insider. My point about Kasich is that he acted all Tea Party until his second term and then we saw the real Kasich who has remained since.
The Ohio Party is corrupt. If you like that bunch, Timken is your gal. But, Vance isn’t any more real than Kasich, and worse, he is a cipher who can claim he is anything but in the real world, you (or anyone else) don’t have a clue who he is.
the rule is vote for the most conservative who is least like a standard politician. thats JD.
Stupid rule if it sends another Susan Collins to the Senate.
I’m thinking of voting for Vance. But I want to find out more about him. Not impressed with the others.
Susan Collins is a standard politician and therefore would not pass the rule.
Stupid rules create stupid results.
