Vivek Ramaswamy's Chances of Losing to Amy Acton in Ohio—New Poll
A new poll showed a close gubernatorial race in the Republican-leaning state ahead of November's midterms.
In a recent poll conducted by Tulchin Research, Democrat Amy Acton holds a narrow 2-point lead over Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio gubernatorial race, with 46% to 44%. The poll, sponsored by Democratic attorney general candidate John Kulewicz, surveyed 600 likely voters from July 29 to August 4, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Other recent polls show varying results, with the Times and Siena University poll tied at 47% each, the AARP poll showing Acton up 3 points, and the Fox News poll showing Acton with a single point advantage. Prediction markets indicate a close race, with Ramaswamy having a 51% chance of victory on Kalshi and Acton leading on Polymarket at 52%.
Both Democratic and Republican candidates have faced criticism in the campaign, with Acton facing pushback over comments about transgender sports and Ramaswamy facing boos at a conservative convention for his stance on Israel. The gubernatorial race in Ohio is considered competitive, with both major polling sources classifying it as a toss-up or leaning Republican.
