Ohio Senate race in virtual deadlock: poll

[AZProgressive]

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.

1. Ryan needs to keep up what he has going. I think he could take this seat.

Him and Brown make a good team if they campaign in a show of unity.

2. Would love to see Ryan debate Vance; don't know if any are planned at present.

Ryan needs to tone down anti-Chinese rhetoric - I think he's already gotten that message.
Ryan is visually more appealing - more animated and fitter than chunky Vance.

3. The same poll has DeWine +15 over Whaley for OH-GOV

4. Ryan is still not as well known (but it seems he is a bit better liked)

Got a "poll" call last night asking for me specifically by name. It quickly became obvious that it was by a RW group ("would you be more or less likely to vote for Ryan if you knew he supported Biden's Build Back Better Bill that would raise inflation and allow more illegal immigration?" ) so I told them they were liars and to go to hell before slamming down the phone.

I probably won't get counted in further "polls" from them...
