Vivek Ramaswamy’s chances in the Ohio governor race shift as polling and election forecaster assessments diverge. Newsweek reports that his election odds fall to a new low amid backlash connected to an ad featuring Amy Acton.
Other coverage focuses on the latest polling snapshots. The Washington Examiner says a Marist poll has Acton leading Ramaswamy by 7 percentage points, framing the race as one in which Ramaswamy aims to keep the seat red and prevent Acton from becoming the first Democrat to win the Ohio governor’s office since 2011. By contrast, India Today reports Ramaswamy leading Acton by three points in a tight race.
Overall, the articles agree the race between Ramaswamy and Acton is competitive, but they differ on who is ahead and by how much, as well as on whether the most prominent driver is campaign backlash or a specific poll lead.
