The survey of 877 registered voters across Ohio, conducted from Sept. 30 to Oct. 1, looks at issues weighing on Ohioans ahead of the presidential election, Ohioans’ mixed attitudes toward immigration and voters’ largely negative perceptions of elected leaders.
Ohio voters cast primary election ballots inside the Cleveland Heights Community Center on Tuesday, March 19, 2024. This year's General Election is Nov. 5. COLUMBUS, Ohio - The vast majority of Ohio voters oppose the practice of creating electoral boundaries that give one party an advantage, a new Baldwin Wallace University poll finds.
“It remains to be seen if the level of antipathy toward gerrymandering translates to support for Issue 1 with the controversial wording of the final ballot language,” said Lauren Copeland, director of BW’s Community Research Institute. “Rather than reflecting the intent of the amendment to establish a citizen-led independent redistricting process, the language is misleading.
In one of the most contentious issues at the Ohio Statehouse over the last several years, poll respondents agreed with the sentiment behind Republican-backed restrictions on transgender Ohioans, including prohibitions on allowing athletes to play on a team that doesn’t match their gender assigned at birth and bans on gender affirming care for minors.The Baldwin Wallace survey asked voters what they believed are the most important issues facing the country.
Those responses might help explain why Republicans have put a spotlight on immigration in their campaign message. Former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential running mate, U.S. Sen. JD Vance, have tried to capitalize on unsubstantiated viral rumors about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating their neighbors’ pets. Local officials have refuted those claims, and Gov. Mike DeWine has backed them up by condemning those spreading the rumors.
Unlike Biden, a Democrat who only received excellent or good ratings from 6.1% of Republicans, DeWine received more cross-party love: 33.3% of Democrats rated him excellent or good.against GOP Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno, falls in the middle of Biden and DeWine: 38.4% of respondents said Brown does an excellent or good job representing them, while 32.9% said he does a poor job. Most of Brown’s approval came from Democrats – with 78.3% saying he does an excellent or good job; only 11.
