- Daily Kos, Aug. 4, '22. OH-Sen: New Poll Has Tim Ryan (D) Beating J.D. Vance (R) 49-38.
- Rep. Tim Ryan (D. OH-13). Here’s some big news today out of Ohio:
A new poll from Center Street PAC, a non-partisan political action committee, shows Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) leads Republican J.D. Vance 49% to 38%, among Likely Voters, with 12% undecided.

While Ryan saw increases in awareness & favorability among voters, a more significant indicator is the decline for Vance in all areas, particularly in favorability. While 23% of voters view Ryan as Somewhat Unfavorable or Very Unfavorable, 46% hold unfavorable views of Vance, with 30% of those saying they have a Very Unfavorable view. By contrast, only 12% of voters are Very Unfavorable to Ryan.
With the election set to be close in November, independent voters will play a key role, & Ryan saw a significant increase with those voters, improving his lead from +8 in July (36% to 28%) to +21 (39% to 17%). “This is the 2nd poll this week where we’ve seen voters moving away from Senate candidates that are extreme & have little or no recent roots in the state in which they’re running,” said Center Street Co-Founder Matt O’Brien.
“While Vance’s numbers aren’t quite as dismal as Oz in Pennsylvania, they’re quickly moving in that direction.” Vance’s favorability even fell among Republicans, with 75% viewing him as Somewhat or Very Favorable in July. In August, that number fell to only 62%. Meanwhile, Ryan’s favorability among Republican voters increased to an above average score...
