Ohioans Overwhelmingly Support Convention of States to Address National Concerns, According to Recent Poll
[Ohio, June 13, 2024] – Recent polling from Susquehanna Polling and Research has revealed resounding support among Ohio voters for the Convention of States initiative to limit the federal government, with 76% of registered/likely voters expressing their endorsement. The survey further unveiled that majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents favor this constitutional mechanism.
The Article V convention, a meeting of the states to discuss constitutional amendments focusing on term limits for federal officials (including members of Congress and bureaucrats), federal spending restraints, and limiting the federal government to its constitutionally mandated authority, has gained bipartisan traction among Ohioans across various demographics.
Key findings from the poll include:
- Overall Support: 76% of Ohioans across all parties support the Convention of States movement and its mission to “rein in” the federal government.
- Bipartisan Consensus: The poll demonstrates broad bipartisan support, with 82% of Republicans, 69% of Democrats, and 77% of Independents rallying behind the Convention of States initiative.
- Willingness to Cross Party Lines: 62% of Republicans and 61% of Democrats would consider crossing party lines to vote for a candidate who backed Convention of States.
- Concern for National Debt: An overwhelming 84% of respondents expressed concerns about the national debt, one of the major issues an Article V convention would aim to address.
- Age Breakdown: Across different age groups, support for the Convention of States remains strong, with 81% of 18-44 year-olds, 80% of 45-54, 73% of 55-64, 74% of 65-74, and 70% of 75 and older expressing their endorsement.
- Diverse Support: The project further enjoys robust support across various ethnic groups, with 71% of African Americans, 96% of Hispanics, 77% of Whites, and 69% of respondents from other ethnicities expressing their backing.
This overwhelming consensus reflects a united call for safeguarding the principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and accountability using the tools the Founders gave us. Faith in the federal government is at a record low; the people of Ohio now look to their state legislators to take historic action to enact meaningful change.
