Subject: Democrat Richard Cordray Continues to Hold Strong Lead Against Republican Mike
DeWine
Date: May 8, 2018
A new Public Policy Polling survey finds that Democrat Richard Cordray continues to hold a strong
lead against Republican Mike DeWine in the general election race for Ohio Governor. Cordray held a
9-point advantage (47/38) over DeWine in April and currently leads by 5 points (44/39). In April,
Trump’s approval was quite low at 44% with a majority (52%) disapproving. Trump’s approval now
sits at 48% with 47% disapproving.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Cordray continues to hold a lead against DeWine among a wide array of demographics
including a majority of Hillary voters (77/10), Democrats (70/17), African-Americans (61/27),
women (51/33), as well as a plurality of whites (42/41), Independents (45/27), voters age 46-65
(48/36), and voters older than 65 (44/39).
- DeWine, on the other hand, is only winning 65% of Trump voters (65/16), despite embracing
the president’s extreme agenda through millions of dollars in TV ads.
PPP surveyed 770 Ohio voters from April 25-26, 2018. The margin of error is +/- 3.5%. This poll was
conducted by automated telephone interviews.
PPP surveyed 618 Ohio voters from May 6-7, 2018. The margin of error is +/- 3.9%. This poll was
