Fox News poll shows Sherrod Brown leading Jon Husted 53, 45

politicsJun 3, 2026163,997

A Fox News poll conducted May 28, June 1 shows Democrat Sherrod Brown leading Republican Jon Husted 53% to 45%, an eight-point advantage with a ±3 percentage-point margin of error. The survey also finds former President Donald Trump's approval in Ohio is 15 points underwater, signaling Republican weakness in the battleground state. Brown has aired an Epstein-focused ad to sharpen contrasts with Husted, and that eight-point cushion improves Democratic prospects for keeping the seat and makes Ohio a tougher map for Republicans.

The same Fox News poll shows a statistical dead heat for Ohio governor between Amy Acton (D) and Vivek Ramaswamy (R).

Go Sherrod Brown!!! You’re the best!

Ohio used to be a swing state until 2016.

I hope Sherrod Brown comes back. Ohio, do the right thing for yourselves.

Love Sherrod. Husted is corrupt, and he’s in the Epstein files.

It’s a bad idea to make fun of poor people right after the head of your party made a lot of people poor. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Husted is an awful, corrupt, unpopular candidate. I think working class Ohioans dalliance with Trumpism has given them a bad taste in their mouth. He hates unions and now people are waking up to that fact. And he’s a child rapist.

I would get too excited. Ohio has repeatedly re-elected known sexual predator protector Jim Jordan.

If this poll is close to being accurate to what happens in November, the Senate is very likely to fall. If Ohio falls, Dems will certainly have Maine, North Carolina, and Michigan. That is 50-50. If Alaska and Texas falls, it is over for Rs.

Yay! Ohio has been held captive by this god awful gerrymandered minority for way too long. The people are pissed and I’m all here for it.

I will never trust Ohio residents to do the right thing when it really counts.

I’m so excited for Sherrod Brown & for Ohio. These will be mailed out in Mid-October. My mom and sister are also doing Postcards to Swing States and also “got” Ohio! Hubby was born in New Philadelphia, OH. I feel really good about this. LFG!!

The map after it’s all said and done could very well look like the map of the US & the Confederacy. The South all alone, again.

Getting Sherrod Brown back after his house loss will be a major win for Ohio. 💙

Robert Democracy Illes4

Great news. Husted is an anti-voting election denier.

I'm in Ohio and will definitely do my part to get rid of the republicans

CatManSkid3

Brown is a good man

roonster13.bsky.social3

He should have won last time!

Brown for Senate; Acton for Governor.

Recently red, but purple is closer than blue.

I have family in Ohio and they are livid mostly about beef and gas prices, not human rights.

This election matters a lot to me. I have a maga family in Ohio and I need them to wake the Hell Up!

Uhhhh What the hell?? New Ohio poll shows Trump is underwater in Ohio by 15 POINTS! Sherrod Brown 53% Jon Husted 45% Either this is a blinking red light for Trump or Fox News's polling is on crack. www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

And real heads will tell you Fox's polling is the best in the business. Its polls were within the margin of error in 2024 and they get midterms right. It's why they felt confident calling Arizona.

Also the case with the gubernatorial with Acton leading Ramaswamy at 50-49

Fox News polls are usually pretty close to the averages of the aggregators, which is why you don't hear much about those polls on Fox News.

I wonder if seeing Vance elevated to the position of National Asshole is cause for reflection among the less committed members of the OH GOP...

Drove around in the Ohio boonies last Saturday and only saw 2-3 faded Trump signs. That's a huge difference.

Sarah Birnbaum ❌👑8

Are these all people who are expressing their current anger with Trump who will all just come home in November because they can’t fathom pulling the level for a Dem? That’s what keeps me from optimism.

Johnnybee6

Is anyone alarmed that republican leadership doesn’t seem to be terribly concerned about their and trumps tanking poll numbers? I think that they should.

Honestly, I don't doubt it. Does feel like things have made a shift in Ohio since '24.

Brown only lost by 4 points, so it's definitely Winnable. Especially if it shapes out to be a wave 🌊 Election Plus, MAGA is just a toxic brand now. So I am very bullish

Kerr Avon ♨️3

Collins is only trailing Platner by 4 in his own internal, whereas the others are beating their Republican opponents by closer to 10.

grooveholmes.bsky.social3

They never should have voted out Sherrod Brown. Maybe some are realizing this now.

counterpunkt.bsky.social2

Obama won Ohio twice. The idea that Trump can do whatever he wants or Republicans can do whatever they want and get reelected never held water. This is not surprising at all.

Russel Pepper2

Husted is a brain dead pile of garbage, so that helps

FloridaMan3052

The state we have to thank for JD Vance, Gym Jordan, Bernie Moreno, world class douchebags

Honestly, I don't doubt it. Does feel like things have made a shift in Ohio since '24

Ann Selzer memories. I hope this is real though. America needs to rid itself of this morbid bag of neurosis.

Fox News is trying to rally the faithful.
