Democrat Amy Acton has surged from 10 points down to a 1-point edge over Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio governor’s race, according to a new Emerson College poll out Thursday.

Acton now leads Ramaswamy 46% to 45%, with 9% undecided, the survey found. In August, Ramaswamy held a 49% to 39% advantage, with 12% undecided.

Women voters have accounted for the swing, according to Emerson’s analysis.

“The August Emerson College poll found women voters split between Ramaswamy and Acton, 44% to 42%, and men breaking for Ramaswamy 54% to 36%. Four months later, men still support Ramaswamy by about 20 points, 55% to 35%, but women have shifted toward Acton, breaking for her 56% to 37%,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said.

The survey showed the Ohio Senate race between GOP Sen. Jon Husted and former Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown essentially neck and neck, with only a slim margin separating them.

Husted’s lead has tightened considerably. After leading by six points in August, he’s now ahead just 49% to 46%, with 5% of voters still undecided.
