Tim Ryan whipping JD Vance in Ohio Senate poll: 2024 candidate down the road?

...in all fairness...when does Newsweek show honest polls?

You have Tim Ryan who is a known congressman from the North East of Ohio (Cleveland/Akron) ...a strong Union area.

vs. JD Vance who nobody likes and doesn't even reside in the state.

And if Newsweek says it is 9%...it is more likely 3-5.

Not much of a lead considering all his advantages.

Way to early ... but Tim Ryan did spend a fortune on early TV ads this summer so as to set the tone as to who he is and to make sure everybody knew he was NOT part of the Liberal WOKE crowd of the Northeast/California. They were well done ads.

JD Vance has yet to start TV advertising for the general election ... so of course he is going to be behind at this stage of the game. At this point in time the general public is clueless about him and what he stands for.

Race WILL tighten once JD Vance starts advertising also ... and since Ohio now leans right it should be a horserace even with Tim Ryan trying to portray himself as an Ohio version of Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

Very Solid interpretation.

Although Ohio 'leans right'....I would have to say it is the hotbed of RINO republicanism.

Kasich, Portman, DeWine all pretty much worthless.

JD Vance - to me seems like a liberal dressed up as a fake Trump guy. Will be interesting to see how he runs.

I know Ryan is trying to get to Vance's right on law and order issues. I don't know if his record as a Congressman supports that.

Ohio is The RINO capital of the country.

JD Vance is a Harvard Liberal, so what does it matter if he or a Democrat get elected?

Malinowski is same in NJ. This silly ivy league snob who is funded by obama

His NJ-07 district is one of the wealthiest in the country. It is not redneck. Even the rural parts of NJ is fairly wealthy.
