While Moreno appears to have an advantage, the race is still within the margin of error.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Bernie Moreno&#8217;s strength as a candidate is growing, thanks to\u200c his effective \u200bmessaging on\u200b his biography and his \u2064support for former President Trump, as\u2064 well as Senator J.D.

With continued strong messaging and financial \u2062resources, Bernie Moreno is \u200dpositioning himself to win the GOP nomination,&#8221; reads the memo \u200cfrom \u2062the Moreno campaign.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In \u200baddition, \u2063Moreno \u200brecently received an endorsement from Senator Mike Lee (R-UT).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s \u200dimportant to\u2064 note that this internal poll differs from the public\u200c polling on the race.

Former U.N.\u2062 Ambassador Nikki Haley\u200b is in second place, followed by Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in third.<\/p>\n<p>All\u200b three GOP candidates have\u2062 previously run for statewide office.

LaRose currently holds a statewide office as secretary of state.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of the Republican Primary will face Senator Sherrod Brown\u200d (D-OH), who has held\u2064 the seat \u2063since 2007.

According to the exclusive poll obtained by the Washington Examiner, Moreno is polling at 15%, followed closely by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose at 14% \u200cand businessman Matt Dolan at 13%. However, the poll \u2062also reveals \u200cthat a significant 58% of voters remain undecided, leaving the \u200brace open \u2062for any candidate to make gains.<\/p>\n<p>The poll surveyed 950 likely Republican primary voters and has a margin of error of plus \u2062or minus\u2064 3.8%. Although Moreno appears to\u200b be in the lead, the margin of error means that the race is\u2064 still \u200dhighly competitive. Therefore,\u2063 it is crucial not to discount \u200bthe other candidates who are still\u2064 within\u2063 striking distance.<\/p>\n<p>The Moreno campaign attributes his growing strength as a candidate to effective\u2063 messaging \u2063on his biography\u2064 and his support \u2063for \u2064former President Trump,\u200b as well as Senator\u200b J.D. Vance. The campaign memo highlights the importance of \u200bmaintaining strong \u200bmessaging\u200d and financial resources\u200c to position Moreno as the \u2064frontrunner for\u2063 the GOP\u200c nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to his momentum,\u200b Moreno\u200d recently\u2063 received an endorsement from Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), further bolstering his credibility among \u200dRepublican\u2063 voters.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u2064 noteworthy that this\u200b internal poll contradicts the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/has-covid-19-made-americans-search-for-risk-free-life\/\" title=\"Has COVID-19 Made Americans Search For \u2018Risk Free\u2019 Life?\">public polling data<\/a> on the race, which consistently showed LaRose leading, with \u200bDolan\u2062 in second place and Moreno trailing third. However, this new poll marks the first instance where\u200b Moreno\u200d has\u2063 taken the lead, and it coincides with a $2 million statewide\u2062 advertising\u2062 campaign \u200cthat emphasizes \u2064his conservative credentials and alignment with former President Donald \u200bTrump. Notably, Moreno was the first \u200bcandidate to advertise \u2064on broadcast television,\u200b signaling his commitment to reaching a broad\u200d audience.<\/p>\n<p>As \u2064the Ohio Senate primary race heats up, it is clear that Moreno&#8217;s \u200dstrong messaging and strategic campaign initiatives are paying\u2063 off. With the race still within the margin of error, it remains to be seen whether Moreno can maintain \u2063his advantage and secure the GOP nomination.\u200b However, his recent polling success indicates that he is a viable contender in the race and should not\u200b be underestimated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: A recent internal poll reveals Bernie Moreno&#8217;s slight lead in the Ohio Senate Republican primary after a multimillion-dollar ad campaign.
