The Ohio Senate race between Republican J.D. Vance and Rep. Tim Ryan (D) is in a virtual deadlock, according to a new poll.
The USA Today Network Ohio-Suffolk University survey released Wednesday found that Vance leads Ryan by just more than 2 percentage points among likely Ohio voters, well within the margin of error.
Vance received the support of 41.6 percent of voters questioned compared to Ryan’s 39.4 percent. Almost 17 percent of respondents remain undecided in the closely watched race to replace retiring Sen. Rob Portman (R).
Additionally, 39.8 percent of respondents had a favorable view of Ryan, compared to the 34.6 who said the same about Vance.
While support for the candidates largely falls upon party lines, Ryan is trying to appeal to moderates in an attempt to take away more votes from Vance, who struggled for much of the primary race to break out of the middle of the pack. Vance’s popularity improved among voters after former President Trump endorsed him in mid-April, and many saw Vance’s performance in the primary as a key test of Trump’s strength within the GOP.
David Paleologos, director of Suffolk University’s Political Research Center, said that Ryan may lose some ground as Ohio residents grow more frustrated with the economy and President Biden’s leadership.

Soo then...Not a deadlock
Not buying this poll. The Donkeys are gonna get crushed in November.
Food prices are higher than ever. Gas is higher than ever. Rents are soaring. Everybody is expecting a recession. Literally every single thing Biden has touched has been a catastrophe.
Sure thing, now go away and stop embarrassing yourself,
vance doesnt have broad name recog yet, OH is a +12 R state these days, it wont be an issue.
Not buying this poll.
************
USA Today. Nuff said.
“The poll of 500 likely Ohio midterm voters, conducted May 22-24, has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.”
Yup, crock poll.
Thank heaven there are sane people left in Ohio. I’m in the blue NE part, and if these idiots had their way, they’d elect Ryan.
I don’t believe ANY polls. Period.
Very skewed
Wishful thinking. Ohio is a red state, but for Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Rural folks here are fired up. I live in SE Ohio coal country, which switched from Blue to Red during the Obama years and has stayed that way.
Very unlikely!
The Hill is just trying to rally the ObamaBots
Not buying this poll.
~~~
I never trust polls.
However, Tim Ryan is relatively popular for a democrat, and like Sharrod Brown, benefits from incumbency & name recognition.
Not believable. Ohio is red and getting redder.
Ryan is a weasel
How Could You, or Why Would You elect a democrat to do anything?
USA Today poll.
Add at least 5 points to Vance’s numbers.
Subtract at least 5 points from Comrade Ryan’s.
By the time the Democrats, their media, the Vichy Republicans, the Neo-con Republicans and their media are finished, I will be surprised it Vance gets over 30% on November 8.
Yeah, and in 2016 the polls had a 50-50 race. Trump won Ohio by 9 points.
It’s a game.
Yeah, right.
