Lee Fisher favorably; 32 percent viewing Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner favorably and only 22 percent viewing Republican Rob Portman favorably.
Thirty-one, percent, meanwhile, viewed Democrat Fisher unfavorably; 32 percent viewed Brunner unfavorably and 34 percent viewed Portman unfavorably, according to the poll of 619 Ohio voters taken from June 17 to June 19.
Fisher and Brunner also lead Portman in matchups among those polled. In a race between Fisher and Portman, Fisher holds a 41-32 percent edge. In a matchup between Brunner and Portman, Brunner holds a 40-32 lead.
More than half of independents, meanwhile, had no opinion about Fisher or Portman. Forty-four percent had no opinion of Brunner.
The automated telephone poll has a margin of error of 3.9 percent.
