Ohio Capital Journal poll

Ohio voters are increasingly frustrated with their unconstitutionally gerrymandered political representation, as state lawmakers occupy districts deemed unfair by the state's highest court. A Baldwin Wallace University poll indicates that while many Ohioans lean conservative, they hold progressive views on key issues such as education, gun control, and reproductive rights. Voter sentiments reveal a strong opposition to gerrymandering, with only six out of 116 elections in the upcoming cycle being competitive. Additionally, the poll highlights inflation as the foremost concern for voters, alongside dissatisfaction with elected officials. The upcoming election also marks a significant moment for reproductive rights, following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, which has become a pivotal topic for candidates. Overall, Ohio's electorate is signaling a desire for change amidst dissatisfaction with the current political landscape.
