Amy Acton leads Vivek Ramaswamy in new Ohio gubernatorial poll

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton is campaigning through southern Ohio, including a recent visit to Shawnee State University in Portsmouth. During her tour, Acton met with faculty and students, visited the university's history department and Appleton Gallery, and inspected technology programs such as a plastics lab.

In the race to succeed term-limited Governor Mike DeWine, a new poll from Bowling Green State University shows Acton leading Republican nominee Vivek Ramaswamy. The survey indicates Acton has the support of 48% of likely Ohio voters, compared to 45% for Ramaswamy. While the results have generated enthusiasm among supporters, some observers have cautioned against complacency heading into the final stretch of the election.
