Ohio's in a bad, but interesting, political situation. The state has clearly shifted red since the Obama elections but the sweeping 2010 election in favor of Republicans has turned the state into a gerrymandered mess. The state legislature is heavily tilted towards the Republicans and, as a result of Trump's popularity, they've become extremely MAGA. Meanwhile, you have a somewhat moderate (in comparison) Republican as governor, but he still supports the majority of these traditional conservative principles.
Since Ohio was a fairly moderate state for a long time, the MAGA legislature doesn't really align with voters' values, but there is a near zero chance of Republicans losing control due to the gerrymandered districts. All this is very unpopular. In fact, voters passed a bipartisan ballot initiative to help eliminate gerrymandered districts several years ago and it's been relatively useless as the districts were held up in court so long that they just defaulted to the previous districts in the last election.
As a result, Ohio has proactively utilized the citizen ballot initiative process to keep the legislature at bay. In August, Ohio struck down an attempt to increase the ballot initiative threshold to a 60% vote, keeping it as a simple majority. Last week, Ohio voters passed ballot initiatives to enshrine abortion rights in Ohio's constitution as well as legalize marijuana. Both these initiatives had a fairly large 55% win, indicating cross-party support, but both are something that would never have been done by the elected legislature.
