OH-GOV: Ohio governor's race poll: Ramaswamy a favorite, Sherrod Brown has strong backing

[RandySF]

Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy appears to be an early GOP favorite in the 2026 Ohio governor’s race, while former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) leads among Democrats, according to a recent poll.

The poll — conducted in February by the Bowling Green State University (BGSU) Democracy and Public Policy Research Network and YouGov — shows Ramaswamy leading the pack of Republican candidates in the race, with 61 percent support from prospective GOP primary voters in Ohio.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Heather Hill follow, with 24 percent support and 9 percent support, respectively.

The BGSU/YouGov poll shows Ramaswamy is more well known than the other two candidates, which pollsters said “is likely driving much of his early support.”

2. Vivek Ramaswamy's early lead will dissipate.

As soon as Ohio voters find out more about him. He's a nutjob but not a charismatic one like Trump. He's called "transgenderism" a mental disorder. He calls affirmative action "institutionalized racism". He wanted to shut down the FBI, the CDC, the ATF, and the dept of Education, among other things. He calls himself anti-woke. He wants to expand nuclear energy. He said he would withdraw the US from NATO if elected President. And I'm just scratching the surface.
