J.D. Vance has taken a huge lead in Ohio’s Senate race after receiving the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, a Fabrizio, Lee & Associates poll revealed Thursday.
The poll suggests Trump has a high influence on midterm races. After respondents were informed that Vance won Trump’s endorsement, his vote share increased to 37 percent. Josh Mandel earned 14 percent, a 27-point difference.
The poll also revealed that Vance became a more well-known candidate after Trump’s endorsement. Only 11 percent of respondents said they had not heard of Vance, down 6 points from 17 percent. In contrast, however, Mandel’s numbers decreased three percentage points . “The endorsement clearly played a role in this improvement, as Vance leads by 19-points among those aware he was endorsed by Donald Trump” the pollers analyzed. “However, this only accounts for 53% of RPV. Nearly half do not yet know of Trump’s endorsement of Vance.”
Trump endorsed Vance last week in a lengthy press release. “I’ve studied this race closely and I think J.D. is the most likely to take out the weak, but dangerous, Democrat opponent — dangerous because they will have so much money to spend,” Trump said. “However, J.D. will destroy him in the debates and will fight for the MAGA Movement in the Senate,” Trump continued. “He’s strong on the Border, tough on Crime, understands how to use Taxes and Tariffs to hold China accountable, will fight to break up Big Tech, and has been a warrior on the Rigged and Stolen Presidential Election.
