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.

As long as Timken is rejected!
I’m rooting for JD! I think he’s changed for the better!
JD Vance endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker, Trumpbart and C98.
“JD Vance is the conservative warrior that the entire America First movement needs fighting for us in the U.S. Senate, and that’s why I’m proud to endorse him,” said Greene, in a statement released by the Vance campaign.
Josh Mandel endorsed by Mark Levin, Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz, Chris Christie and Micro Rubio.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
This is a function of the various ad campaigns. Vance has begun more TV ads, which has raised his name recognition. Gibbons and Mandel got into an unattractive spat during a debate, instigated by the dishonest Mandel but tarring both, leaving Gibbons appearing shallow. Timken has begun her tv ads, and may appeal more to independents but that won’t help her in the primary.
JDV is my pick. dont believe the anti-trump smears, he could be as potent as Rand Paul. Its no contest.
What Trump’s initial run showed us was that 95% of all these guys are just place-seekers at the troughs.
Josh Mandel endorsed by Mark Levin, Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz, Chris Christie and Micro Rubio.

Thanks for that info, I see plenty wrong with that.
I agree.
I’m looking for a common sense civil libertarian.
Remember Kasich? He said the right things.. but was a wooden nickel. SO is Vance. He is establishment.. don’t be surprised if he isn’t another Romney.
Gibbons is the only choice. Mandel, Timken and Vance are all phonies.
Maybe the biggest RINO in the country. Is a conservative lead in any Republican race in the country?
The Trump Sr. endorsement should be coming soon.
Donald Trump Jr. Backs Up J.D. Vance from Opponents’ ‘Lies’: ‘JD is 100% America First’
I’m going to be honest, I’ve been extremely skeptical of @JDVance1. However, after carefully observing all of his debate performances and media appearances, I am wholeheartedly convinced that he is one of the best Senate candidates this cycle. Get out and vote for him, Ohio.— Catharine O’Neill (@cathponeill) April 6, 2022
Excellent! He’ll tip over the table. Like a young Trump. I love that guy!
Now the mealy mouth crowd will say, “Oh, he’s unseemly!” as they lift their pinkies in the air sipping lattes.
From both sides.
Gibbons is the phoney. Money manipulator like Romney who tore up American companies and sent the jobs to China. Fancy talking con man who will become a Chamber of Commerce Senator if elected. Ditto Vance. Mark my words.
JD Vance is establishment somehow despite being a 100% outsider to the OH GOP.
Nice spin.
Kasich was an insider, JDV is an outsider, dont even compare the two.
your right to be skeptical but we should whenever able, vote for the “new blood” and being from Middletown I think JD Vance brings that experience with him to help break through to the undecideds in the forgotten middle and lower class.
I don’t trust him, but he appears to be the best option.
JD’s a national-level/intel insider (e.g., at Thiel’s investment company).
