October Poll Finds Trump Underwater in Ohio, Trailing Generic Democrat

Columbus, OH – A new poll from Public Policy Polling and Innovation Ohio shows that Ohio is set to return to its traditional status as a battleground state in 2020.
A memo on the results and the cross tabs can be found on Innovation Ohio’s website.

After winning the state by 8 points in 2016, the PPP survey finds President Trump trailing a generic Democratic 47-48% and an underwater 47-51% favorable/unfavorable rating. Given that state’s swing from 2012 to 2016, it is especially notable that President Trump trails a generic Democrat 37-51% with independent voters.
“As Democrats gather to debate in Ohio, these results show that Ohio will once again be a battleground in 2020, and any Democrat would be foolish to write off our state,” said Innovation Ohio President Janetta King. “Given his unpopularity with Ohio voters, it is clear that President Trump’s failures and broken promises are catching up with him in the state.”
“Ohio is a must-win state for President Trump. His poor numbers in this poll help to explain his early spending on TV and digital ads here,” King continued.
The poll also tested President Trump against five Democratic candidates; he failed to top 47% against any of them. This survey comes on the heels of similar results from Emerson Polling.
Founded in 2011, Innovation Ohio is a nonpartisan, nonprofit thank tank that blends policy research and advocacy to fight for working families in Ohio.
PPP surveyed 776 Ohio voters on October 10th and 11th on behalf of Innovation Ohio. 60% of surveys were completed by telephone and 40% were completed by text message. The survey’s margin of error is +/-3.5%.

IO Calls for Delay of Tom Price’s Hearing for HHS Secretary Amid Accusations

Untitled FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: 614-220-0150 DATE: January 24, 2017 Innovation Ohio Calls for Delay of Tom Price’s Hearing for HHS Secretary Amid Accusations of Insider Trading Columbus, Ohio– With HHS Director nominee Tom Price’s hearing scheduled for today, Innovation Ohio is calling for a delay in the hearing until the U.S. Senate holds a proper investigation into Price’s misconduct in response to the new reports that the Georgia Congressman “traded more than $300,000 in shares of health-related companies over the past four years while sponsoring and advocating legislation that potentially could affect those companies’ stocks.” Janetta King, CEO, Innovation Ohio: “Tom Price has already been shown to be too dangerous and extreme of a pick for HHS Secretary, and now it appears he may be too corrupt as well.  We know that if confirmed, Price would work to take away health care from 30 million Americans and replace Medicare with a voucher system that would skyrocket seniors’ health costs. But the recent reports concerning Price’s introduction of legislation that would directly benefit his medical stock investments now calls his ethics into question, not just his extreme agenda that would undermine America’s health security. We don’t need an HHS director that puts his personal wealth above the health needs of the American people. “The accusations of insider trading are too serious to be overlooked, and should be afforded serious scrutiny before his hearing begins,” added Ms. King.
