New Fox News Poll Shows GOP Senator Trailing Democrat in State Trump Won by 11 Points - https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...
"President Donald Trump won the state of Ohio by solid margins all three times he has run for president, but in 2026, his abysmal polls seem to be dragging down the incumbent Republican senators fortunes for this Novembers ballot.
Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Ohio by over eight points in 2016, lost the 2020 election overall but beat Joe Biden in Ohio by over eight points, and then improved his margin in the Buckeye State in 2024 to beat then-Vice President Kamala Harris by over 11 points.
Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) was appointed to the Senate in 2025 when JD Vance became vice president. He previously served as Ohios lieutenant governor, secretary of state, a state senator, speaker of the Ohio House, and a state representative. This year, he is running in a special election in November to fill the remainder of Vances Senate term, which will be up for re-election in 2028."
