Republican J.D. Vance has opened a narrow edge over Democrat Tim Ryan in the U.S. Senate race in Ohio, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds, as President Joe Biden’s unpopularity complicates the campaign by the moderate Democratic congressman to flip a GOP-held seat.
Vance leads 47%-45%, a shift from Ryan’s one-point advantage last month, 47%-46%. Both findings are within the survey’s 4.4 percentage-point margin of error.
The Ohio race stands second only to Pennsylvania as a prospect for Democrats to pick up a Senate seat now held by a Republican. That said, national Democratic groups have invested more money and effort in Wisconsin in hopes of ousting GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, who led by 6 points in a Marquette University poll last week. |
