OH-GOV, OH-SEN: Ramaswamy, Husted trail Democrats in Ohio poll by AARP [View all]

A new poll from AARP has Vivek Ramaswamy (R) and Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) narrowly trailing their Democratic opponents in the Ohio gubernatorial and Senate races, respectively.

The survey, conducted by bipartisan polling team Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research from June 14 through 16, found Democratic nominee Amy Acton leading Ramaswamy, a GOP candidate for president in 2024, 47 percent to 44 percent among 800 likely voters.

Husted, meanwhile, trails former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) 48 percent to 45 percent. The incumbent Republican is seeking election to a full term in office after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) appointed his then-lieutenant governor to fill the seat vacated by Vice President Vance.

The leads held by Acton and Brown — the latter of whom represented Ohio in the upper chamber for three terms before losing to Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) in 2024 — are within the margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
