Acton leads new Ohio poll as economic concerns grow - The Columbus Dispatch
A new Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll shows Democrat Amy Acton leading Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio gubernatorial race. While this poll suggests a significant lead for Acton, other recent surveys indicate a much tighter contest.
Why it matters
The race is a key indicator of political sentiment in a state that has trended Republican in recent national elections.
As Ohioans worry about the direction of the state and nation, Democrat Amy Acton is leading Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the nationally watched Ohio governor's race, according to a new Suffolk University/USA TODAY Ohio Network poll.
In the new poll, former state health department director Acton is leading biotech entrepreneur Ramaswamy, 50.4% to 41.4%, with Libertarian Don Kissick polling at 2.8%, which could be a significant factor in a close election to replace Gov. Mike DeWine. Other, recent public polls have shown a much closer race.
The Suffolk University poll of 500 likely voters was conducted between Sept. 23 and Sept. 27 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
