Incumbent Democrat Greg Landsman holds a narrow polling edge over Republican challenger Eric Conroy in Ohio’s 1st congressional district, where the PVI sits at R+1 and Donald Trump carried the area by 6.5 points in 2024. Mid-decade redistricting shifted the map toward Republicans statewide, yet this seat retains swing characteristics that keep both candidates near even odds in winner markets. Landsman’s substantial fundraising lead and primary performance support expectations of a modest Democratic margin, while Conroy’s challenge and the district’s partisan lean limit separation. Recent ratings from Cook, Sabato, and Inside Elections classify the race as Lean or Tilt Democratic, aligning with trader focus on 3–12 point Democratic victories over wider spreads or Republican outcomes. National midterm dynamics and any late polling shifts could still alter the final margin before November 3.
