Bad news for Democrats…Republican J.D. Vance has taken the lead over Democrat Tim Ryan in the race for U.S. Senate in Ohio.

JD Vance

American Lookout reports – Vance has long been the favorite in this race, but Tim Ryan did manage to get an edge on him over the summer.

Now that we are getting close to the race, Vance is moving up in the polls.

The Hill reports:

Vance holds a 4-point lead over Ryan in the Ohio Senate race poll.

Republican J.D. Vance holds a 4-point lead over Rep. Tim Ryan (D) in Ohio’s Senate race just over 50 days out from Election Day, according to a new survey from Emerson College Polling and The Hill released Friday.

Vance leads Ryan 44 percent to 40 percent, which is within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Thirteen percent of voters said they were undecided, while 3 percent said they planned to vote for someone else.

The latest poll shows Vance’s lead growing since an Emerson College survey from August in which he led Ryan by 3 points.

Republicans were always expected to have a slight advantage in the red-leaning state, with the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rating the contest as “lean Republican.” However, Ryan and his Democratic allies still say they have a chance at flipping the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Rob Portman (R). The RealClearPolitics polling average of the race shows Vance leading by 2.3 points.

In addition to the economy, Vance is paying a lot of attention to the crisis at the border.

The issue of the border is a matter of national security. It should concern everyone running for office and should be at the top of their list of to-dos when they get to Washington.

We’re losing our country…will voters show up en masse in November to vote for lawmakers who care about our nation’s future?
