The Suffolk University poll, which surveyed 500 Ohio voters from September 23-27, has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.4 percentage points.

Despite Acton’s lead in voter preference, 53% of respondents in the Marist poll believe Ramaswamy will ultimately win the gubernatorial race in November. Acton garnered stronger support from parents and college graduates, while Ramaswamy was preferred by voters aged 65 and older and non-college graduates. The two candidates were tied among men, white voters, and those aged 45 and older. Among Independents, 57% favored Acton and 32% favored Ramaswamy.

Regarding favorability, Acton’s ratings were 49% in the Suffolk poll and 43% in the Marist poll. Ramaswamy’s favorability stood at 44% in the Suffolk poll and 38% in the Marist poll.

In the Ohio Senate special election, the Marist poll shows Democrat Sherrod Brown leading Republican Jon Husted 51% to 43%. Unlike the governor’s race, 50% of voters in the poll expect Brown to defeat Husted. Among Independents, Brown was favored by 58% compared to Husted’s 33%.

This Senate race is a special election to fill the remaining two years of J.D. Vance’s term, who resigned in early 2025 to become vice president. Brown is seeking to return to Congress after a 2024 loss to Bernie Moreno, while Husted was appointed to the Senate in early 2025.

The Marist poll also touched on national sentiment, with 50% of respondents strongly disapproving of President Donald Trump’s job performance. Additionally, 41% of Marist respondents stated their vote for Congress would be against Trump, while 25% said it would be for him. Ohioans will cast their votes on November 3.
