Overview
- A Bowling Green State University poll shows Vivek Ramaswamy leading the Ohio GOP primary with 61% support, ahead of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost at 24% and Heather Hill at 9%.
- Ramaswamy's campaign has gained momentum with endorsements from Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, and state Treasurer Robert Sprague.
- The poll was conducted before Trump publicly endorsed Ramaswamy, suggesting his support could grow further in the coming months.
- On the Democratic side, former Senator Sherrod Brown leads prospective candidates with 59% support, but Democrats face an uphill battle in the historically Republican-leaning state.
- Ohio voters will choose their next governor in 2026, with the GOP primary scheduled for May 5, 2026.
