Trump-backed businessman Bernie Moreno has taken a nine-point lead over his nearest opponent for Ohio’s Republican U.S. Senate nomination on the eve of the primary, according to an Emerson College poll.
The poll finds Moreno leading the pack with 38 percent support, marking a monumental 15-point surge compared to an earlier Emerson College/Nexstar Media poll published last Wednesday. In the latest poll, State Sen. Matt Dolan (R) comes in second place with 29 percent, up 3 points from last week, followed by Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) at 12 percent. Another 21 percent of the respondents are undecided.
