October 20, 2025

Columbus, Ohio- In case you missed it, a new poll from Bowling Green State University showed Donald Trump is now ten points underwater in Ohio and both the senate and gubernatorial races are competitive going into 2026.

After Republican policies in the federal and state government yielded disastrous results for Ohio's working families, voters are ready for a change. Ohio Democrats are in a strong position to win at all levels of government with just over a year to go until the midterm elections.

See more from Bowling Green State University below:

• Donald Trump's approval rating has steadily fallen in each of the polls we have conducted of Ohio voters this year. A majority of respondents believe the economy is worse than it was a year ago

• Many of his policies are not especially popular and his favorability has dropped 9 points from February to October, where he is now below water with a -10 favorability rating."

• "Democrats are likely to be encouraged by these numbers. They look to be competitive in both the governor's race and the U.S. Senate race."
