What was said
… the total, and so if you do, you know, and so basically, you're having turnout, at least measured by mail-in ballots, could be significantly more than 22, and of course 22 was a red wave year, and this would be the opposite. And also, going into this rally, the polling from Real Clear Politics puts Amy Acton at 49, Vivek Ramaswamy at 44, and then on the Senate side, Jared Brown 48, John Husted at 45.

Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Newsweek (published 2026-10-28) reports the RealClearPolling average, covering surveys from September 29 to October 19, at Acton 48.6% and Ramaswamy 44.3%, which rounds to 49% and 44%.[1]
Supports. The RCP Ohio governor page, a later snapshot covering polls from 10/9 to 11/1, shows Acton at 49.6 and Ramaswamy at 44.9, which is close to the claimed figures and confirms the same lead direction.[2]
Context. Earlier reports cite RCP averages of Acton 48.2% to 44.7% (Yahoo, Oct. 19) and an Acton lead of 3.7 points (Washington Examiner, Oct. 20), so the average was in the high 40s for Acton and mid 40s for Ramaswamy throughout October.[3][4]
Context. The RCP average is a rolling aggregate of polls, so the exact figures shift as new polls enter it; the claim describes a single snapshot that matches the sources within rounding.[1][2]
