New Polling: Ohio Could Be In Play For Democrats In 2026

Some of you might be too young to remember, but at one time, Ohio was a purple state before all them right wingers cheated with all them gerrymandering and mail in ballot rigging.

“We’re going to Ohio! Then we’re going to Maine, and Alaska! We’re gonna go to North Carolina, and Iowa, and Texas! And then we’re gonna take back the Senate! Yaaah!”

Every seat is potentially one that the Democratic Party could win, with how deeply unpopular Trump is right now.

Sherrod Brown has a high floor. I just dont know how high his ceiling goes. Ninja Edit: he is honestly the kind of elected politician that Democrats need more of.

No kidding. Sherrod Brown was a popular senator but got caught in a red wave year. This year is a blue wave year. Another reason why it’s important to vote in every election you are able.

Remember the Iowa 2024 polls. Yes I know things are not going well for America right now but take your grains of salt with this.

I was saying before some of these special elections upsets in the Democrats favors i could see Republicans being in trouble. I have family and friends all over Ohio. And even the MAGA ones admit they hear more negative talk about Trump. This thing with Iran is gonna hurt. Some are pounding their chest saying we will just waltz in and wipe them out. But they have terrain knowledge. They seem to forget that Iraq lasted 8 years. Iran offers a much stronger foe than Iraq as well. Not sure why some thing this will be a cake walk but they have the idea that our military is just so good Iran will take "a week at most" on the ground. This will draw out and will hurt. Want to sway Republican voters? Hit them in the wallet. Listen to many of them. That is their only true care.

Vivek is probably also a factor. Guy is bringing down the entire gop ticket in Ohio.

If this war is still going on by election time Republicans will not only lose the house but the Senate. But we need more then a 50/50 Senate because with Fetterman he would basically control what passes. Also i would not be shocked if in case of a tied Senate he switches sides to keep Republicans in control.​

Vivek Ramaswamy was a unique figure in the 2024 primaries. Typically, when you get more media exposure, especially in a primary, people tend to get a more favorable view of you. Doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re more likely to vote for you, but the “don’t knows” of the world will at least get a good impression. Ramaswamy was just about the only exception I’ve ever seen to that, at least recently. Every time he was on a debate stage in 2023 and early 2024, his favorables and vote share, even among Republican primary voters, went down. The more they saw, the less they liked. He was just that much of an unlikable jackass on stage. And they cleared the field for this guy, to the point where his closest competition is an actual, no shit Nazi. So considering that and some of the more outlandish positions he’s taken since announcing his gubernatorial run (12 month schooling, consolidating Ohio’s pride and joy higher education system), it’s no shock to me he’s lagging just about every other statewide Republican in Ohio from the past decade. Acton has a real shot at getting to the Governor’s Mansion, and Ramaswamy might very well end up taking Husted with him.

Nothing would be more amazing than seeing Maine, Texas, and Ohio flip in November.

Honestly any state that voted for this administration needs to get taxed heavily in cleaning up the imminent mess that’s coming. It’s such bullshit we all have to deal with the constant dumpster fires Trump has managed to cause because some toothless yokels thought it’d be a great idea when you know all they’ll do is complain about their mess not getting cleaned up faster when a Democrat takes office. They’ll never learn until you rub their noses in it and make them learn.

I mean, yeah. They spent months acting like minorities were eating people's pets en masse - and then they put f****** Ramaswamy on the podium. What the f*** did they think was gonna happen?

Ohio and Florida used to be swing states back in the day. They went to Obama both in 2008 and 2012. The f*** did Trump do to make them solid red?

For the first time in years, in my area in Ohio that is very conservative, Politics are not something people are comfortable talking about beyond an occasional complaint about having to work with someone who “don’t speak English”. With no further discussion of the matter.

Right

Republicans in Ohio don't care. They will always vote for the person with the R next to their name. They didn't like JD Vance or Bernie Moreno but they both won because Ohio Republicans are deep MAGA and will never vote for a Democrat.

not if the same old ass candidates. We need young and new.

Ohio Dems won't vote yet again. Watch

Not falling for this again

Jon Husted is an arrogant, condescending, thoroughly corrupt (Look up FirstEnergy), snarky piece of shit. Sherrod Brown should be able to beat him, but nothing can be taken for granted. The only reason Brown is even running in this race is because he wanted to regulate Crypto, and so of course the Crypto Bros funded his opponent, smarmy used car salesman Bernie Moreno, an immigrant from Argentina of all places. That m*********** definitely needs to be run out on a rail, but unfortunately, we've got 4 more years of him. The Republicans in Ohio need to be checked in the worst way possible, at all levels of government. I don't trust the Dems not to steal defeat out of the jaws of victory here, but if there's a chance to even the odds somewhat, this is the year. Amy Acton has a decent chance too for Governor. Vivek Ramaswamy? Come on, people? Really??? That douchebag???

Cool but the best they can do is just running Sherrod Brown again?

This going to be the new Texas is turning blue cope that has failed every election cycle. If we can't turn Texas blue, there's zero chance Ohio is going blue

Dont get your hopes up yet. 2026 is a lifetime away in politics. A lot can and will change before then.

Unironically the whole country is in play. Alabama and Mississippi will be in play as well. Trump fucked with the economy too much.

Dont get your hopes up yet. 2026 is a lifetime away in politics. A lot can and will change before then.

Democrats desperately need to abandon woke bullshit and address real world problems of the middle class. The ultra-wealthy are totally screwing all of us. Their campaign contributions have castrated most of our incumbent politicians. We desperately need a younger generation of reality based, economically relevant, candidates. The internet, with all its flaws, has enabled politicians with a clear message to be heard.
