Republican J.D. Vance has opened a narrow edge over Democrat Tim Ryan in the 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.
Nearly half of those surveyed, 48%, agree with the statement, “I want my vote in November to change the direction President Biden is leading the nation.” Only 24% chose the statement, “I want my vote in November to support the direction President Biden is leading the nation.”
