Vivek Ramaswamy Gets Boost After Five Ohio Polling Blows in a Row
Newsweek ^ | October 8, 2026 | Andrew Stanton

Posted on 10/10/2026 10:12:50 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy edged out Democrat Amy Acton in a new poll of the Ohio governor’s race, breaking a string of five recent surveys that gave Acton a lead in the state that President Donald Trump won by double digits in 2024.

A new co/efficient poll, conducted on October 5 and October 6, showed Ramaswamy up 2 points over Acton, 45 percent to 43 percent among 925 likely voters. Three percent said they would back a Libertarian candidate, while 8 percent were undecided. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.49 percentage points. Ramaswamy's win ended up well within that measure.

A series of other recent polls over the past few weeks gave Acton leads over Ramaswamy in the gubernatorial race, which is expected to be among the most competitive in the midterms.

One of those polls was also published Thursday.

The CNN/SSRS poll showed Acton up 8 points, 50 percent to 42 percent among 760 likely voters. It was conducted from September 29 to October 5, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

The polls come just days after Trump campaigned in Ohio with Ramaswamy.

Except for Hegseth, Stephen Miller, RFK Jr, Rubio and others, Trump is lousy when it comes to selecting candidates.

O-3 on the SCOTUS.

Both Bushes were 1-2, in baseball that's a .500 batting average.

Deal with reality .

White workers are not voting for their enemy.
An Indian invader who trashed white workers and
said he like H1 Visas invaders.
Ohio workers are not stupid.

Trump should stay out of these primaries.

It grew so tiresome in 2024 battling the loser eeyores on this forum constantly bleating that the election was fixed, the cheat could not be overcome, etc etc etc. the future of our country is on the line in all of this year’s elections. The barbarians are already inside the gate and the issue is whether we can push them out. You may well be right, just as the 2024 doom mongers could have been proven right. But I love my sons and my grandson too much to go down without a fight. Cowards should just go simper quietly in the corner until the result is decided

Pollsters are forced to stop lying the closer races get to the actual election.

Pollsters want to create the band wagon effect for democrats. They know some people want to stand ‘with winners’ so they poll in ways that make races look better for democrats..

How do they lie FOR democrats? Early pools are ‘citizens’ - that includes people too stupid to ever vote and most of that group is democrat. Later polls use registered voters - that still tilts democrat because of motor voter and other scams... And last - likely voters. That’s where truth starts sneaking into the races - and where Republicans poll better. Until that point most of ‘em poll to help their comrades in the commie/democrat/hamas party.

a Governor has no control over H1B visas. And Democrats still support them. So not sure what you’re whining about.

If you’re complaining his an Indian and not white...I don’t think many care about that, but some do no doubt...mostly democrats.

Vivek made the comment trashing white workers.

Indians have been taking all the white workers jobs.

No one in Ohio is going to vote for a slick lecturing Indian .

Trump put him there .

Being Governor enhances one’s resume to become President. I expect opponents of H1B visas to oppose Vivek.

Do you not know what happened this week in regard to H1Bs? The announcement that Vance made (best friend of Vivek and namesake of his son)?

With an R house and senate and the Trump admin on his back, Viveck would be curtailed in any Indian immigration expansion he would even consider.

Vote Viveck or you get leftist/communist/sanctuary state/increased tax welfare give-aways with Lockdown Acton.

Remember when you said we’d win 40 seats in 2018. Now that was funny but actually very sad that you were so ignorant.
