The RealClearPolitics average figures match the sources: a RealClearPolling average of Brown 48.2% and Husted 44.9% as of October 27, 2026, consistent with the claim's 48% and 45%.
Minor detail. The sources confirm the claim; only a minor detail differs, such as a name's spelling, a title's wording or a rounding.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… 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. And I got a question whether or not, you know, the Real Clear Politics is a basket of polls, and it's kind of rolling polls as new ones come in, so you can't really dissect it through cross tabs. …
Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Every source identifies the Democratic Senate candidate as Sherrod Brown, not 'Jared Brown'; the name in the claim does not match any candidate in the record, though the Ohio Senate race context makes the intended candidate clear.[1][2][3]
Supports. A RealClearPolling average posted October 27, 2026 shows Sherrod Brown at 48.2% and Jon Husted at 44.9%, consistent with the claim's 48% and 45% figures within rounding.[4][5]
Context. Other RCP-related figures differ by window: an RCP multi-candidate average for 9/23–10/30 shows Brown 47.2% and Husted 44.8%, and the RCP page's own dates are garbled, so the exact average depends on the snapshot used.[6][7]
Context. The claim's 'John Husted' is the same person as Jon Husted, so that first-name variant is not a material error.[1][5]
