The Ohio governor race has started to come into focus as voters look ahead to the 2026 election contests, and a recent poll has shown Democrat hopeful Amy Acton ahead of Republican frontrunner Vivek Ramaswamy—if only by a slim margin.
The poll, conducted on behalf of the Ohio Federation of Teachers, shows Acton with a higher favorability among Ohio likely voters—including a potentially key 21-point advantage among independent voters—but Ramaswamy's campaign has disputed these results.
Ohio will face an open election for governor after incumbent Mike DeWine serves out his term-limited time in office. Ohio has elected only 1 Democrat among the last six governors, spanning from 1991 to today, but Democrats remain hopeful of flipping the state.
President Donald Trump and Republicans faced a reality check this week after losing major contests for governor in New Jersey and Virginia—states that voted Democratic but in which Trump had made considerable gains in the 2024 election.
Republicans had some optimism they could continue to penetrate what has historically been a very staunchly Democratic country, similar to how Trump broke the infamous "Blue Wall" Great Lakes states in his 2016 win over Hillary Clinton, but those hopes have been dashed after Democrats scored major wins not only in those contests but in smaller elections in states across the country.
The Democrats and Republicans continue to jockey for position ahead of midterms, which will take place on May 5, 2026, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
As of this week, Acton, a physician and former director of the Ohio Department of Health, is the only Democratic candidate to declare her candidacy, although former Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio has indicated he is considering a bid—and has been considering one for the last few months.

Wanna turn Ohio from "solid red" back to a swing state? This is how you do it.
ICE this dude back to Mumbai.
Ohioans, take care of business.
“ The poll, conducted on behalf of the Ohio Federation of Teachers”
Totally believable (/s). Vivek will win and he will win big, Groytards notwithstanding.
A poll for teachers union, the very definition of liberal bias and lies.
Why propogate such fake news.
It really surprises me that with such a deep, deep bench - *no other* Republican in Ohio wants in on this primary?
A poll for teachers union, the very definition of liberal bias and lies.
Why propogate such fake news.
And Ohio gets an Indian H1-B techbro scammer as governor?
Are we supposed to cheerlead for this?
I hope not.
I kinda hope it's true.
Deport this Indian H1-B scammer now!
I don't want these people in executive positions. Do you?
If so, please explain why.
There's still time for Ohio to unf**k this mess.
Teachers union of course, where you must pay the union just to work.
“””The poll, conducted on behalf of the Ohio Federation of Teachers,”””
Considering the source, Vivek has little to worry about.
Main thing is for voters to vote.
Ohio voters do not dismay the rest of us.
Yeah, I'm scratching my head as well. We ran a Jamaican girlboss in Virginia. She got clobbered. Now an Indian in Ohio?
We might as well put an (R) next to Omar Fateh's name and run him as well!
We are a white country. Run white men in leadership positions.
Or just hand it all over to the Third World.
Oh, so we're supporting him? Is that it?
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Maybe you will clarify.
I can understand if Vivek is not your choice to run for office. What I cannot understand is you’re saying you want to have him deported. He is an American citizen. So how can he be deported?
Please clarify if you care to do so.
How is he an American? Because he was born here?
If I were born in Mumbai, would I be Indian?
Omar Fateh was born in Washington DC. Is he American?
There are two choices. Take America back or hand it over to the Third World.
What do you want to do? Because if you want to take America back, it's not going to be pretty.
LOL. have a nice day.....
Based on the responses in this thread, you have at least some in MAGA who want nothing to do with him.
I can't stand either of them and will probably just sit home on principle. Just like I did when DeWine ran for reaction after COVID.
Unfortately a lot of so-called MAGA voters won’t vote for anyone non-white. We saw that in Virginia.
It seems other potential GOP candidates were chased out by Trump backing Ramaswamy.
Although they voted her for Lt.Governor....
I'm not from there so I can't say why she lost. She appeared to be a fairly poor speaker to me.
I don't think race is Ramaswamy's biggest problem in Ohio. Though. It's that he comes across like a slick-talking car salesman and has some weird things in his background.
