Ohio Election Day: Opinion Poll Update

A Tight Race Predicted, but Dewine Remains Favorite

With just days to go until Election Day in Ohio, the latest opinion poll shows that the race for governor is still very close. Incumbent Republican Governor Mike Dewine holds a narrow lead over Democratic challenger Nan Whaley, but the race is far from decided.

The poll, conducted by the University of Cincinnati, shows Dewine with 48% of the vote to Whaley's 45%. The remaining 7% of voters are undecided.

Key Issues for Voters

The poll also asked voters about the most important issues facing Ohio. The economy was the top concern, followed by education and healthcare.

Dewine has campaigned on his record of economic growth and job creation. Whaley has focused on her plans to invest in education and healthcare.

Turnout Expected to Be High

Election officials are expecting a high turnout for this year's election. Early voting has been strong, and there is a lot of interest in the race for governor.

Dewine is seeking a second term in office. He was first elected in 2018, defeating Democratic challenger Richard Cordray by a margin of 50.1% to 46.3%.

Whaley is a former mayor of Dayton. She is the first woman to be nominated for governor by a major political party in Ohio.

The Outcome of the Election Will Have a Significant Impact on Ohio

The outcome of the election will have a significant impact on Ohio. The governor is responsible for setting the state's budget and agenda.

Dewine is a conservative Republican who is likely to continue the policies of his predecessor, John Kasich. Whaley is a progressive Democrat who is likely to make significant changes to the state's policies.

The election is expected to be close, and it is likely to be decided by a small margin.
