OH-12: Poll shows tight race to replace Tiberi in Ohio
A new poll shows the candidates for Ohio's 12th Congressional District are running neck and neck, a signal that the August showdown for the red-leaning seat could become the next big special election battleground.
New polling conducted by Public Policy Polling for End Citizens United (ECU), a political action committee that backs candidates who push for campaign finance limits, shows Republican state Rep. Troy Balderson ahead of Democrat Danny O'Connor, the Franklin County recorder, by just 2 percentage points, within the survey's margin of error.
Balderson leads with 45 percent of the vote in the new poll, which was provided exclusively to The Hill, while O'Connor followed with 43 percent.
With a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points, O'Connor is well within striking distance in a district that President Trump won by 11 points in 2016 and one that former Rep. Pat Tiberi (R) held with little problems for almost nine terms.
