Vance received the support of 41.6% percent of respondents, compared to 39.4% for Ryan, in their bid to win the seat of retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman.

The survey also found with nearly 17% of respondents were undecided. The number is not unusual with Election Day in November. However, how those respondents eventually vote will largely decide the outcome of the race. It was conducted among 500 likely Ohio general election voters May 22-24.
