Poll: Ohio Senate race back to “toss-up”
Republican Rob Portman still leads Democrat Lee Fisher in Ohio’s U.S. Senate race in the Rasmussen Reports poll but the poll has moved the race back into the “toss-up” column from “leans Republican.”
The poll, released on Tuesday, Aug. 31, shows Portman leading Fisher, 44-39 percent among likely voters, compared to a 45-37 percent lead for Portman two weeks ago.
When “leaners” are included, Portman still leads, 47-41 percent.
Portman is a former Cincinnati-area U.S. House member and was budget director and U.S. trade representative for President George W. Bush. Fisher is lieutenant governor.
The statewide telephone survey, done by automated interviewers, was taken Monday, Aug. 30 with 750 likely voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Maybe because the race is getting so close, someone thought that they could bump a vote-taker out the race and get those votes back… Maybe with the CP candidate Deaton gone, those conservative votes will migrate back to Mr. Portman. Sound fishy?

Portman has my vote. He feels the same way about immigration as I and other Ohioans do. Vote for Portman!!!!
