CLEVELAND, Ohio – Those who want Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown to run against Republican President Donald Trump in 2020 will be stoked at the first publicly available 2020 poll
in Ohio.

A new poll from Public Policy Polling, a firm that does work for Democrats and liberal groups, shows Brown besting Trump in Ohio in a head-to-head matchup. Three other Democratic
candidates were also surveyed, with two of them winning. They surveyed 648 registered voters in Ohio using automated telephone interviews. The margin of error is plus-or-minus 3.9
percentage points.

As a predictor for the eventual outcome of the 2020 election, the poll is mostly useless. But it does suggest a Democrat – particularly Brown – could potentially be competitive in Ohio
in a presidential race.

In a head-to-head matchup, Brown bested Trump 48 percent to 42 percent, with 10 percent undecided. Brown also had an 8-percentage point net favorable rating compared to
respondents 6-percentage point net unfavorable opinion of the president.

Three other Democrats were also tested against Trump in the survey. Former Vice President Joe Biden – who made numerous campaign visits to the state in 2018 – bested Trump 48
percent to 44 percent. Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont who finished second in the Democratic primary in 2016, essentially tied Trump, with Sanders holding a
narrow 47 percent to 46 percent lead.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts and frequent target of attacks from both Trump and Republicans, fared worse. Trump held a 6-percentage point advantage over
Warren, with 49 percent saying they supported Trump and 43 percent backing Warren.

Ohio’s competitiveness is crucial to how the 2020 election will shake out. Trump performed well throughout the Midwest, particularly in Ohio, but also in Wisconsin, Michigan and
Pennsylvania. Those three states share many similarities with Ohio, but are more Democratic in their voting trends.

Warren is a terrible candidate for president, and I wish people would stop peddling her like she has a chance. Her stances are off base for most left-leaning folks, and her reputation hurts her on both sides of the aisle. She's just a noticeable figure.

[CultureShocker]

I have never dreaded yet been so excited for something more than the 2020 election...

I just want to be able to fucking breathe again.

She isn't the sort of candidate who can go against Trump and win imo but I feel like her "reputation" is mostly Republican disinformation, similar to the Benghazi shit Clinton had to deal with.

[Revenge282]

She also didn't really do a whole lot to combat the disinformation. The whole Native American heritage ordeal was such a minor detail, drug out way too long, and never should have started.

The larger issue is that her public image/persona is not something that really shouts "leader" to me. When she speaks, she sounds less informed and "committed" to her ideas.
