Polling data shows that a majority of Ohio residents think Ohio State would beat the Browns

As anyone who follows the machinations of political polling knows, to lighten up their normally humdrum lives, pollsters like to throw in ridiculous questions, usually meant to generate clickbait headlines or giggles from polling wonks who dive deep enough into the data.

In their most recent polling of Ohio, one of the most tightly-contested swing states, the Public Policy Polling organization included some questions to gauge the overlap between sports and politics. The biggest headline from the report for sports fans is that an absurdly high number of Ohio residents believe that if the Ohio State collegiate football team faced off with the professional Cleveland Browns, that the Buckeyes would win.
