Poll: Ohioans trust DeWine over White House

As Ohio waits to hear Governor Mike DeWine’s detailed plans to begin lifting stay-at-home restrictions, a new statewide poll shows that 70% of Ohioans prioritize public health over the economy. 

The Baldwin Wallace University Ohio Poll also shows that 85% of voters in the Buckeye State approve of DeWine’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to 50% who approve of how President Donald Trump has handled the crisis. That Ohio gap has widened by five points since a BW Great Lakes Poll conducted in late March.
