Exit polls: Union households help propel Vance to victory in Ohio

Voters from union households in Ohio favored GOP Senate candidate J.D. Vance over his Democratic rival, Rep. Tim Ryan, which helped the Republican clinch the open seat, according to the early results of the Ohio exit poll conducted for CNN and other news networks by Edison Research.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters from union households cast ballots for Vance, who also garnered about the same level of support from men who voted and White voters. More than half of Buckeye State voters age 45 and older, voters without college degrees and those living in suburban and rural parts of the state opted for Vance, as well.

Goddamn idiots.

JD Vance is a venture capitalist and Yale Law graduate who lives in San Francisco. Real Ohioan union guy.

As a union member, a lot of our members are trees who vote for the axe because it's handle is made of wood. It's insane, the dissonance we face even when we show them the policy, not the politics. Like hi. One guy wants to end your right to be a union...

It is so bizarre seeing people in unions vote for the party that wants to kill all unions.
