Brown Edges Moreno by 5-Percentage Points in U.S. Senate Race

In the contest for U.S. Senate, 50% of registered voters statewide, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, support Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown. 45% back Bernie Moreno, his Republican challenger. Among independents, Brown (53%) leads Moreno (37%) by 16-percentage points. Brown receives support from 10% of voters who plan to vote for Trump while Moreno receives only 2% of Biden backers.

Plurality Views Brown Favorably… Moreno with Low Name Recognition

More than four in ten Ohio residents (43%) have a favorable opinion of Sherrod Brown. 32% have an unfavorable view of him, and 24% have either never heard of Brown or are unsure how to rate him. There is less consensus among views of Moreno. 28% have a positive impression of the candidate, 33% have a negative one, and 39% have either never heard of him or are unsure how to rate Moreno.

This poll last week showed similar numbers:

Two things to note here:

1. Great poll for Sen. Sherrod Brown. Up by 6 points.

2. Trump ahead by 8, which suggests that we are about where we were in 2020, since that was Trump's exact winning margin in Ohio four years ago. There's no "Trump surge."#OHSEN https://t.co/IU5lkU8kk8

As the #OHSen race heats up between Democrat @SherrodBrown and Republican @berniemoreno, @OHDems are pouring a lot of resources into trying to label @berniemoreno as a liar.

Ohio workers don’t trust Bernie Moreno to stand up for them.

“I always ask, where was Bernie Moreno when the auto workers stand up strike of 2023 was? I never heard him say anything or do anything.” #OHSen pic.twitter.com/AeHl8wh580
