Ohio Senate Race Tightens as Sherrod Brown Leads Jon Husted by Narrow Margin in New Polling
COLUMBUS, OHIO — A new poll released Tuesday reveals a tightening race in the Ohio Senate contest, with incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown holding a slim lead over Republican challenger Jon Husted. Conducted by a nonpartisan research firm, the survey indicates 48 percent of likely voters support Brown, while 45 percent back Husted, with 7 percent undecided. The poll, which surveyed 1,200 registered voters from October 10 to October 12, carries a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points. Analysts attribute the narrowing gap to shifting suburban voter sentiment and high campaign spending on both sides. The election is scheduled for November 5, 2024.
