Poll: Democrats gain ground in Ohio as gubernatorial race tightens
WSYX ^ | Thu, December 11, 2025

Posted on 12/11/2025 4:20:11 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Kimball highlighted the political dynamics among younger voters: "Ohio voters who did not participate in the 2024 election, most of whom are under 30, are more likely to identify as Republicans rather than Democrats. In addition, 31% of voters under 30 align with independents or Democrats, while 38% identify with Republicans, though this group still breaks for Democrats on the ballot by about 12 points."

President Donald Trump's job approval rating in Ohio stands at 46%, with a disapproval rating of 48%. Since August, Trump's approval has decreased by three points, while his disapproval has risen by six points. Gov. Mike DeWine's approval rating is at 26%, with a disapproval rating of 45%, reflecting a six-point drop in approval and a five-point increase in disapproval since August.

The economy remains the top issue for Ohio voters at 44%, followed by threats to democracy at 13%, healthcare at 11%, housing affordability at 9%, immigration at 8%, and education at 7%. Opinions on mass deportations of undocumented immigrants are divided, with 53% viewing them as beneficial for the state, down from 57% in August, while 47% see them as detrimental, up from 43%.

When asked which political party they trust more to make Ohio more affordable, 43% of voters favored the Republican Party, 37% favored the Democratic Party, and 19% trusted neither party.

Because party leaders are forcing unpopular candidates to the top of the races, we’re gonna lose gubernatorial elections in both Ohio and Florida next year, aren’t we?

Vivek plagiarized Obama over and over. There are videos on Twitter. All the Democrats have to do is plop those videos into commercials, no comment needed.

You go with Vivek. He scares them just like Sarah Palin did and the media knows it. Should he win he’s got a bright future. Should he lose it’s not like McCain in ‘08.

And when he loses spectacularly, as many here said would happen, you all are going to cry "Election fraud! Dominion voting machines!" right?

Ohio can recover from a Democrat. It can’t recover from putting an Indian in charge of HR.

A presidential election with Donald Trump on the ballot isn't even close to a midterm gubernatorial election where half of Trump's own supporters (including myself) would rather vote for pharma-bro scammer Vivek Ramaswampy to be deported.

49-49 is quite close to the actual results - even all of the other ones save the first one were well within the margin error.

Except for the fact that he is.

Vivek crashed out on Christmas last year, when he went on a Twitter tirade against US workers and US culture, instead being in favor of bringing in more H-1B Visa foreigners.

Screw Vivek Ramaswampy and all those who seek to destroy the US middle class so their stock portfolio can marginally improve.

Can we make his Ohio birth certificate disappear and deport him anyways?

You know, you can just do things.

Most all the demoncrats, both legal and illegal are in the big cities. And collage counties are also blue.

Here in southern Ohio, I have personally seen LOTS of foreigners running about. The county I live in used to be strong red. But maybe not so much anymore.

I think those twenty million (or more) invaders we've been hearing about are about to make their presence known...

Republican Donald Trump ultimately won Ohio for the third straight election, defeating Democrat Kamala Harris by 11.21%, the widest presidential margin of victory in the state since fellow Republican Ronald Reagan’s 18.76% in 1984.
