Summary
Montgomery County hosts Trump on Saturday as he campaigns for Senator Jon Husted and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, both trailing Democratic rivals a month before the midterms.
A Marist poll of nearly 1,300 Ohio voters found 56% disapprove of Trump’s job performance, while Republicans in Montgomery County posted only two-thirds the primary turnout of Democrats and statewide GOP gubernatorial turnout fell 33% from 2022.
Affordability complaints are dominating voter conversations, with some former Trump backers citing roughly $100 more a week for groceries and higher gas costs, while local Republicans blame Biden-era spending and Democrats point to Trump’s Iran war adding more than $44 billion in costs.
Ohio remains a Republican-leaning state that Trump carried in the past three presidential elections, but independents make up 2.9 million voters and could prove decisive in the Senate and governor’s races.
