Emily Singer at Daily Kos:
President Donald Trump's political rise quickly transformed Ohio from a perennial swing state to a solid red bastion, with Republicans now in full control of state government. But Trump's disastrous second term may finally change Democrats fortunes in the Buckeye State. A poll released this week by the left-leaning firm EMC Research shows Democrats not just leading both Ohio's gubernatorial and Senate elections but also surpassing the 50% mark—an important indicator for the ultimate outcome of the races. Democratic candidate Amy Acton, who is running unopposed for the gubernatorial nomination, leads Republican front-runner Vivek Ramaswamy by a whopping 10 percentage points, 53% to 43%, among likely voters. Meanwhile, former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown leads incumbent GOP Sen. Jon Husted, 51% to 47%. And that result came before Husted made a boneheaded comment about how poor people are, in his eyes, basically stupid.
Ohio has been a reliably Republican state in the Trump era, but the GOP could be in big trouble in the Senate and Gubernatorial races, per a recent poll from EMC Research conducted between February 10th and 22nd.

Sherrod Brown expected to seek his return to the Senate in 2026
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, Ohio's best-known Democrat, is expected to make another run for the U.S. Senate next year, giving Democrats a likely boost as they wage an uphill fight to win control of the chamber.
Brown has not yet made a formal announcement, but people familiar with his plans who were not authorized to speak publicly about them said he plans to run. One person said an announcement could come by the end of next week. The decision was first reported by Cleveland.com.
Brown, 72, seeks the Senate seat currently held by Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted, 57, a former Ohio lieutenant governor, state senator and secretary of state who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump.
Democrats view Brown, a three-term former senator and champion of the working class, as among their most formidable candidates despite his 2024 reelection defeat to Republican Bernie Moreno.
Buyers' remorse is afflicting MAGA voters.
An MS NOW reporter spoke with 3-time Trump voters in Ohio who have soured on The Orange One.
Ohio went for Trump all three times but Republican candidates are struggling there this year.
In the latest Fox News Poll for US senator from Ohio, Democratic former Senator Sherrod Brown is leading incumbent Republican Jon Husted by 53% to 45%.
Fox News Poll: Democratic unity, Republican crossovers shape Ohio Senate race
We mentioned yesterday how the US Senate race in Ohio has been moved from Leans Republican to Toss-Up by the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
That Fox News poll also shows Trump 15 points under water with Ohio voters.
But wait, there's more!
That same Fox News poll, reporting on the race for governor of Ohio, shows Democrat Amy Acton one point ahead of Republican Vivek Ramaswamy. Ramaswamy was a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024 and was briefly the co-leader of DOGE before being pushed out by Apartheid Elon Musk. Acton leads Ramaswamy 50% to 49%.
So despite Trump carrying Ohio three times, the GOP is in trouble there in 2026. Yet another reason we should not concede any state or district this year to Republicans.
It is important we flip the US Senate in November!
