Ohio Governor Polls: Observations and Insights
- Big Issues – The economy, jobs, inflation, and taxes are the key issues concerning the Ohio voters.
- In Ohio, Joe Biden has only a 39% Job approval rating and if the elections are held today, only 39% of the Ohio Voters would vote for him.
- Abortion: By law in Ohio, a woman is allowed to abort her child within 6 weeks of pregnancy. However, most of the time it has been found that a woman may not know about her pregnancy within 6 months. Recently, an incident in Ohio shook everyone. A 10-year-old rape victim had to leave Ohio for an abortion in Indiana because her pregnancy was over 6 weeks by 3 days. After this incident, Mike DeWine did not want to comment on Abortion Law. Nan Whaley has promised to get away with the law after she gets elected.

Ohio Governor Polls: Demography
Ohio has rapidly turned right as Democrats have lost votes in their working-class strongholds in North West Ohio, especially in Mahoning and Trumbull counties. Both counties swung over 25 points in 2020 from 2012 when Obama won the state thanks to his margins in counties like these.
Similar to other states, Democrats have made improvements in educated places – the most educated county in the state, Delaware County, and the northern suburbs of Columbus have swung to the left rapidly along with Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati which was unusually conservative for an urban county pre-Trump.
Democrats have to rely on improving margins in the North West and along Lake Erie if they want to have any chance of retaking the governor’s office. White votes remain a large majority and it’s the same case in both parties’ primaries. Non-white voters are a pivotal voting bloc for Democrats.
