Fox News Poll: Democratic unity, Republican crossovers shape Ohio Senate race

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump carried Ohio by more than 11 percentage points in 2024, but a new Fox News survey finds his standing in the Buckeye State has deteriorated — a development that is benefitting Democrat Sherrod Brown in the Senate race.
By a 15-point margin, Ohioans view Trump negatively: 42% hold a favorable opinion and 57% an unfavorable one. That’s more than a 20-point swing compared to his +6 net positive rating (52-46%) in the November 2024 Ohio Fox News Voter Analysis election survey.
The poll of Ohio voters, released Wednesday, finds Trump’s ratings are about on par with views of Republican incumbent Senator Jon Husted (41% favorable, 50% unfavorable), while challenger and former Ohio Senator Brown is viewed significantly more positively (53% vs. 44%).
That helps Brown outperform Husted by a 53% to 45% margin in the race to fill the state’s Senate seat. His 8-point lead is outside the poll’s margin of sampling error.

Brown garners fully 98% support among Democrats compared to Husted’s 86% among Republicans. Brown also receives backing from outside the democratic base: 31% of non-MAGA Republicans and 13% of all Republicans. Only 2% of Democrats pick Husted.
Husted is favored by White evangelical Christians (+32 points), rural voters (+11), and White men without a college degree (+7). Brown is preferred by voters under age 35 (+33), independents (+18), and women (+14).
Non-white voters favor Brown by 58 points, while the race is a dead heat among White voters (49% each). And the candidates are nearly tied among voters ages 45 and over (49-48%), while Brown leads by 23 points among those under age 45.
The candidates are competing for the Senate seat Husted currently holds after being appointed to replace JD Vance when Vance became vice president. Brown is hoping to return to the U.S. Senate after he narrowly lost his seat to Bernie Moreno in 2024.
About 7 in 10 of both Brown’s (73%) and Husted’s supporters (69%) are certain of their choice. Overall, about one in four say they may change their mind before voting.
FOX NEWS POLL: ‘RESILIENT DISCONTENT’ DEFINES THE US MOOD AT 250TH ANNIVERSARY
By a 6-point margin, more Democrats (82%) than Republicans (76%) say they are extremely or very motivated to vote this November.
Most Brown supporters, 68%, describe their vote as mainly for him rather than against Husted (30%). Those who are backing Husted are less enthusiastic about their candidate, with 58% saying their support is mainly for him rather than against Brown (39%).
In a state Trump carried with 55% of the vote, the survey finds being too close to him is now more of a liability than being too liberal. Some 39% of Ohioans are concerned Brown is «too liberal,» including 13% of his supporters. For Husted, 46% overall are worried he is «too close» to Trump, including 10% of his backers.
Inflation dominates, with 43% saying it is the most important issue in their Senate vote. All others trail far behind, including healthcare (12%), immigration and border security (11%,) political divisions (9%), jobs (8%), Iran (7%), abortion and crime (4% each). Notably, inflation is the top issue among independents (50%), Democrats (44%), Republicans (40%), MAGA (34%), and 2024 Trump voters (39%).
Voters focused on inflation favor Brown by 14 points, as do healthcare voters by 44 points, while those prioritizing immigration and border security go for Husted by 76.
On their family’s financial situation, 39% of Ohio voters say they are falling behind, up from 32% who said the same in the 2024 FNVA survey. The largest number, 49%, say their family is holding steady, down 9 points.
«There’s good reason for the Democrats to be bullish on Ohio,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts Fox News polls with Democrat Chris Anderson. «The state remains solidly Republican, but Democrats are united against Trump allies and independents prefer Brown.»
In the race for governor, Ohio voters are divided: half back Democrat Amy Acton (50%) and nearly half favor Republican Vivek Ramaswamy (49%). Fourteen percent who prefer Brown in the Senate race cross-party lines to support Ramaswamy.
Most Democrats (93%) go for Acton, while most Republicans favor Ramaswamy (89%). Independents back Acton by 8 points (51-43%).
Nearly twice as many Acton supporters (38%) as Ramaswamy backers (21%) say their vote is mainly «against» the other candidate.
Seven in 10 of each candidate’s supporters are certain of their choice.
Although views of Acton are positive by 9 points (46% favorable vs. 37% unfavorable), 16% are unable to rate her. Ramaswamy’s ratings are positive by 1 point (45-44%), while Vance’s are underwater by 7 (45-52%), and opinion splits on sitting GOP Gov. Mike DeWine (48-48%).

By more than 2-to-1, Buckeye voters oppose having an AI data center built in their area (32% favor, 65% oppose). That opposition is across the political spectrum, as majorities of Democrats (72%), independents (64%), and Republicans (59%) are against building data centers.
Conducted May 28-June 1, 2026 under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News Poll includes interviews with a sample of 1,015 Ohio registered voters randomly selected from a statewide voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (109) and cellphones (653) or completed the survey online after receiving a text message (253). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ± 3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Results among subgroups are only shown when the sample size is at least N=100.

Diputadas costarricenses presentan recurso de amparo contra la Presidencia Legislativa por limitar derechos parlamentarios

Las diputadas Claudia Dobles Camargo y Abril Gordienko López presentaron un recurso de amparo ante la Sala Constitucional contra la Presidenta de la Asamblea Legislativa, Yara Jiménez, tras considerar que una reciente decisión vulneró sus derechos parlamentarios y sentó un precedente peligroso para la democracia costarricense.
Ambas legisladoras solicitaron formalmente realizar una permuta entre sus participaciones en las comisiones legislativas permanentes especiales.
Argumentaron que el Reglamento de la Asamblea Legislativa reconoce expresamente este derecho y no impone restricciones en cuanto a la pertenencia a diferentes fracciones legislativas.
Sin embargo, la Presidencia Legislativa denegó la solicitud bajo el argumento de que las permutas no pueden realizarse entre diputadas de fracciones distintas, lo que las legisladoras calificaron como una interpretación arbitraria y carente de fundamento legal.

Según el comunicado, la resolución impugnada excede las competencias de la Presidencia Legislativa y crea una restricción inexistente en la normativa interna, lo que constituye una afectación directa a los derechos fundamentales de representación política.
Dobles y Gordienko sostienen que la permuta propuesta cumplía con todos los requisitos: ambas son titulares en sus respectivas comisiones, la solicitud se presentó en el plazo reglamentario y ninguna ostenta la presidencia de las comisiones involucradas.
Además, el intercambio no alteraría la representación partidaria ni la paridad de género, ya que se trata de una permuta entre dos mujeres.
La controversia cobra relevancia pública porque las comisiones legislativas son espacios esenciales donde se discuten y dictaminan proyectos de impacto nacional. Impedir de manera arbitraria la participación de representantes electos, según las diputadas, debilita la representación democrática y el respeto al Estado de Derecho.

La Sala Constitucional ha reiterado en resoluciones anteriores que la permuta es un derecho parlamentario funcional y que la Presidencia Legislativa no puede vetarlo por criterios políticos siempre y cuando se cumplan los requisitos formales. Al desconocer dicha jurisprudencia, la Asamblea Legislativa podría exponerse a una condena constitucional con consecuencias institucionales y patrimoniales.
La diputada Abril Gordienko López advirtió que la decisión afecta especialmente a las fracciones unipersonales, que solo pueden ejercer el derecho de permuta con legisladores de otros partidos. Negar esta posibilidad genera una desigualdad injustificada y vulnera el principio de igualdad parlamentaria. Claudia Dobles Camargo, por su parte, subrayó que “no se puede permitir que interpretaciones arbitrarias vacíen de contenido los derechos que la ley garantiza a las diputaciones, ya que ello sienta un precedente peligroso para el funcionamiento democrático del Parlamento”.

Ambas legisladoras manifestaron que seguirán participando activamente en las comisiones y cumpliendo sus responsabilidades, pero defenderán por todas las vías legales el respeto a la Constitución, el Reglamento Legislativo y los derechos de todas las diputaciones. “Defender estos derechos, concluyeron, es también defender el derecho de la ciudadanía a una Asamblea Legislativa plural, respetuosa de la ley y libre de abusos desde la Presidencia legislativa”.

Trump says anti-fraud efforts are uncovering billions in waste, claims savings could balance budget

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Wednesday touted Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud efforts and claimed Republicans are uncovering enough government fraud to potentially balance the federal budget, while accusing Democrats of resisting investigations because they are «in on the act.»
In a Truth Social post, Trump praised Vance and Republican officials for what he described as a nationwide effort to identify fraud and waste in government spending.
«Vice President JD Vance and Republicans are doing a great job hunting down Fraud in the various States,» Trump wrote. «Billions of Dollars is being found, and we’ve just started!»
Trump’s comments come as the administration has sought to highlight anti-fraud efforts led by Vance. In April, Fox News Digital reported that Vance’s newly created anti-fraud task force had identified nearly $6.3 billion in government contracts believed to be tied to potentially fraudulent businesses.
Officials said nearly 400 businesses would be required to prove they had legitimate operations and physical addresses.

The president argued that the amount of fraud being uncovered could have major implications for federal spending and taxes.
«If we found it all, we would literally be able to balance the Budget, and simultaneously reduce Taxes, cutting them even more than I have already done, which is a RECORD!» Trump wrote.
Trump did not provide evidence that fraud findings identified by Republicans would be sufficient to eliminate the federal deficit. While the president argued uncovering fraud could eventually balance the budget, the administration has not publicly released figures showing identified fraud totals approaching the size of the annual federal deficit.

The anti-fraud task force was established by executive order in March, and is chaired by Vance. The administration has said the initiative is designed to identify fraud, waste and abuse across federal programs and government contracts as part of a broader effort to reduce spending and strengthen oversight.
Trump also sharply criticized Democrats, saying he was surprised efforts to uncover fraud had not received bipartisan support.
«Amazingly, Dumocrats are fighting us all the way,» Trump wrote. «This is something that I am surprised at, because I thought this would be a Bipartisan effort.»

Trump went on to suggest Democrats may oppose such investigations because they have a vested interest in preventing further discoveries.
«It’s looking like they’re in on the act,» Trump wrote.
The president further claimed Democrats do not want Republicans to uncover what he described as «Hundreds of Billions of Dollars of FRAUD!»
Trump later compared Democratic opposition to anti-fraud efforts with several other issues that have become central themes of his political messaging, including transgender athletes competing in women’s sports, mail-in ballots, voter identification requirements and proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting.

The administration has made rooting out waste, fraud and abuse a recurring focus of its messaging as it seeks to reduce government spending and defend broader fiscal policy initiatives.
Democrats have argued Republicans frequently conflate fraud, waste and policy disagreements when discussing federal spending reductions and have questioned whether projected savings touted by the administration can ultimately be realized.
