Ohio Democratic Voters Believe Democratic US Senate Primary Candidates Should Debate Throughout The State
CINCINNATI, Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Voter Outlook—an apolitical organization working to provide key insights among voters—announced today that Ohio Democratic voters strongly prefer US Democratic Party Senate candidates to hold a number of statewide debates as part of the U.S. Senate Democratic Ohio primary election process.
On behalf of Voter Outlook, EMI Research surveyed 200 registered Ohio Democratic voters and found that 80% believe Democratic primary candidates for US Senate should hold debates as part of the primary election process. Of those, 93% believe a debate should be held in each of the three major Ohio cities: Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland. Additionally, among those favoring debates, 78% believe that rural locations in Ohio should host an equal number of debates compared to those held in the three major cities.
The research sample was balanced. The median age group was 35-44 with normal distributions above and below the 35-44 age group. The median education level fell into the "some higher education" category with an expected distribution of lesser and higher education. The respondents were approximately 50/50 male/female. The research was fielded in October 2015.
When asked about what the research suggests, Voter Outlook founder Kevin Hassey said, "I believe it suggests that Democratic voters want a number of dialogues of substance between candidates to better understand their positions and that voters also want candidates to venture out to their part of the state, wherever that might be."
