Former President Donald Trump has a double-digit lead over President Joe Biden in a hypothetical head-to-head general election matchup in Ohio, according to an Emerson College poll.

The poll published Thursday morning finds that 47 percent of the 1,844 registered voter respondents would back Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election. He sits 11 points ahead of Biden, who garners 36 percent. Nine percent would back someone else, and nine percent would be undecided in a two-way race.

 

There is minimal change in the margin between Trump and Biden compared to November’s Emerson poll conducted for Fox 8 Cleveland when Trump had a 12-point advantage.

Trump carried Ohio in both of the last presidential elections, securing 53.3 percent of the vote in 2020 and beating Biden by 8.1 points. In 2016, he bested twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by taking 51.3 percent of the vote to her 43.2 percent. Ohio, which was long a swing state, went blue for former President Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 elections.

As efforts are underway in states around the country to use the Fourteenth Amendment to remove Trump from the ballot, the poll asked respondents, “Which comes closer to your view: Donald Trump should be on the Republican Primary ballot or we should leave the decision to the courts?”

More than half of the participants, 51 percent, believe Trump should be on the ballot, while 37 percent say the matter should be left to the courts. Another 12 percent do not have an opinion.
