Republicans Losing Hold of Ohio Senate Seat

And here I thought Portman was supposed to be one of their shining stars!!

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Ohio finds both potential Democratic candidates with solid leads in the race to replace retiring Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH).

Lee Fisher (D) leads Rob Portman (R), 41% to 32%, and Jennifer Brunner (D) has a similar 40% to 32% advantage over Portman.

Analysis: "Anyone trying to figure out whether Brunner or Fisher would make a stronger general election candidate or which has a leg up in the primary will not find it from this poll, as their numbers are nearly identical across the board."

Democrats on Track to Flip Ohio Senate Seat

Looking good neighbor!! Strickland looks safe as well.

According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, the race for the seat held by retiring Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) leans Democratic, regardless of which of the two leading candidates wins the party nomination.

The Democratic nomination is still up for grabs with Lee Fisher (D) getting 20% in a hypothetical primary and Jennifer Brunner (D) winning 16% support and 59% undecided. In the Republican race, former Rep. Rob Portman (R-OH) is at 29%, way ahead of Mary Taylor (R) at 8% and Tom Ganley at 8%. However, 54% of Ohio Republicans are still unsure.

In general election match ups, Fisher would defeat Portman, 42% to 31%, and Taylor, 41% to 29%, while Brunner would defeat Taylor, 38% to 29% and Portman, 40% to 32%.
