BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Democracy and Public Policy Network in the Department of Political Science at Bowling Green State University has released the results of its seventh web-based poll, conducted from April 7-14, 2026, with insight from 1,000 registered Ohio voters.

Topics covered in the April poll include:

• The president's approval rating
• Ohio governor and senate races
• Sentiment on property tax reductions, data centers, Ohio government consolidation, Iran, the economy, tariffs, the state of democracy and other policies

The nonpartisan poll has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.9 percentage points. The weighted sample reflects a recalled presidential vote of +11 for President Trump in the 2024 presidential race.

Full April poll results include:

• Top-line findings
• Cross-tabulation findings
• Expert analysis of poll results

For the poll, YouGov, an international online research data and analytics technology group, gathered public opinion data through questions sent in online surveys, emails and text messages.

A four-person research team in the BGSU Department of Political Science developed, ordered, tested and analyzed the questions in the poll.
