“It was pre-election and post Trump endorsement,” said Paul Beck, an Ohio State political science professor emeritus. Unsurprisingly, Republican respondents mostly had good feelings for Trump, on average giving him 75 degrees out of 100 on the thermometer rating. While three candidates’ thermometer ratings were close, Trump endorsed Vance, who ended up winning with 32% of the vote. Meanwhile, Mandel got 24%, Dolan 23% and Gibbons 12%. For Beck, that leads to an obvious conclusion.But that doesn’t make Trump political kryptonite for Republican primary candidates, Beck said.
In the end, DeWine won, but with just 48% of the vote, while his two main challengers got a combined 50%.
