SUBJECT:

2018 OHIO SENATE DATA

DATE:

DECEMBER 5, 2016

WASHINGTON, D.C. A recent study conducted by WPA Research finds that Senator Sherrod
Brown is vulnerable to a challenge and Republican Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel would begin
a race for the Senate with a narrow, one point, lead.
Brown currently trails with several key demographic groups that would put his re-election campaign
at risk, including occasional voters, voters with less than college degrees, Catholics, and
Independents.

and a margin of error equal to 4.0% in 95 out of 100 cases.
