A recent Fox News poll indicates a decline in President Donald Trump's popularity in Ohio, which may benefit Democrat Sherrod Brown in the upcoming Senate race. The survey reveals that 42% of Ohio voters view Trump favorably, while 57% have an unfavorable opinion, marking a significant shift from his previous positive rating.
In the race for the Senate seat, Brown leads Republican incumbent Jon Husted by 53% to 45%, with Brown receiving strong support from Democrats and some Republican voters. The poll shows that 98% of Democrats support Brown, while Husted has 86% support among Republicans. Additionally, Brown has garnered support from 31% of non-MAGA Republicans.
Demographic trends show Husted leading among White evangelical Christians and rural voters, while Brown is favored by younger voters, independents, and women. The survey also highlights that inflation is the primary concern for voters, influencing their choices in the Senate race.
The poll, conducted from May 28 to June 1, 2026, included 1,015 registered voters in Ohio and has a margin of error of ±3 percentage points. The results reflect a competitive political landscape in Ohio as both candidates prepare for the upcoming election.
