Trump loses ground in Ohio, with 44 percent calling term ‘worse than expected' so far: Survey
President Trump has lost some ground in Ohio, with 44 percent of respondents calling his second term 'worse than expected' so far, according to a new survey. In the Bowling Green State University/YouGov survey of Ohio registered voters, 47 percent of respondents said that they either 'strongly approve' or 'somewhat approve' when it comes to 'the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president.' In February, 50 percent said the same about Trump's job performance in a similar survey. Forty-eight percent of respondents in the recent Bowling Green State/YouGov poll also said that they either 'strongly disapprove' or 'somewhat disapprove' of Trump's job performance, while 1 percent said they are 'not sure' and 4 percent said they 'neither approve nor disapprove.' In February, 44 percent said they 'strongly' or 'somewhat' did not support the president's job performance, while 5 percent said they didn't have an opinion either way. 'Consistent with many national polls, we find that Trump has lost considerable support over his first 100 days, suggesting his honeymoon was short-lived,' Bowling Green State University professor of political science Robert Alexander said in a write-up on the poll. 'Having a net negative favorability rating in a state he won by 11 points should be of concern for Trump nationwide. If his numbers continue to slide, we can expect the hopes of Democrats in Ohio to increase as they look to the 2026 election.' In the same poll, 44 percent of respondents said the president's 'first 100 days in office' were 'worse than I expected,' while 24 percent said the first 100 days were 'about what I expected' and 32 percent called the days 'better than I expected.' Recent polling has found Trump's approval rating among Americans slipping in the first few months of his presidency. The president's administration has taken controversial action on issues including immigration, LGBTQ rights and trade policy, prompting backlash from Democrats and even some Republicans. The Bowling Green State University/YouGov survey of Ohio registered voters took place from April 18 to 24, featuring 800 registered voters and 4.08 percentage points as its margin of error.

Browns: Harold Fannin Jr. college highlights and what he brings to NFL
Browns: Harold Fannin Jr. college highlights and what he brings to NFL The Browns stuck with offense with their fourth selection at No. 67 overall, as they took Bowling Green State tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Out of Canton, Ohio, Fannin exploded in his final season, where he led the FBS in catches and yards. He has great hands, after-the-catch traits, and the ability to win against defenses on deep or in-breaking routes. Fannin's catch radius is massive, and he has no issue playing through hits. He's just 20 years old and had eye-popping production in his final year at Bowling Green, setting almost every tight end receiving record for the school. Fannin caught 180 passes for 1,555 yards and had elite games against Penn State, where he went for 137 and 145 yards, respectively. On the downsides, Fannin is a bit undersized for a full-time, inline tight end who has to take on big NFL defenders. He occasionally struggled blocking in space, and he will likely struggle to consistently win against NFL-sized defensive ends. He did do well as a lead blocker in zone concepts, but he will need to add size to evolve into a full-time inline tight end. With the likelihood that the Browns increase their 12 personnel uptick in reverting to a more wide-zone centric offense, there was a clear hole at tight end next to David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, and now Quinshon Judkins. Fannin is an incredibly versatile pass-catcher who will be an intriguing weapon for Cleveland's offense.
