While the Ohio governor’s race is now a virtual tie, there’s been little movement again this month in the state’s contest for the U.S. Senate.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in Ohio finds Republican Rob Portman still slightly ahead of his two chief Democratic rivals, Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner. The battle is over the seat now held by retiring GOP Senator George Voinovich.
Portman leads Fisher 43% to 38%, with 14% of voters still undecided. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate.
The former GOP congressman posts a 45% to 38% lead over Brunner. Again, four percent (4%) like another candidate, while 13% are undecided.

Frankly, I’m not thrilled with Portman. He’s served in the Bush Administration and is too establishment. But we’re stuck with him, so real conservatives need to try to influence him.
he’ll probably be an improvement over Voinovich
He couldn’t be as bad as Voinovich? Could he?
No.
Excellent thinking. Make him beholden to us for victory and he’s less likely to stray.
Conservatives must never forget that it was free men that freed them not politicians.
It is the nature of politicians to always disappoint.
And grace be to God, we’ll get our freedoms back.
he’ll probably be an improvement over Voinovich
He’s breathing and he’s conservative!
Get real......my VERY conservative nephew worked for Rob Portman and he said he’s as CONSERVATIVE as can be!! GEESG.
Who knows? Maybe those two kids who brought down Acorn will be in history books as saviors of the Republic.
I’m shocked that after all the underhanded things she has done Frau Brunner is still in this race. Portman definately has my vote.
Rob Portman was my Congressman for many years. Yes, he accepted roles in the Bush administration and peformed those extremely well. There appears to be a lot of completely unfounded speculation as to Rob Portman's conservatism. It is unparalleled for any Ohio Senator in at least the last 50 years. I've met him and donated/volunteered to his campaigns. He's light years better than Voinivich or DeWine and will also help us to forget the really horrible years of Glenn and Metzenbaum.
Trust a Buckeye. Portman will be a U.S. Senator beloved by FReepers.
She is dead wrong about just about everything that matters and can be voted upon by a U.S. Senator.
Portman is pro 2nd Ammendment, and pro-small business, and pro-life. I’m eagerly awaiting to mark my ballot for him.
“He couldn’t be as bad as Voinovich? Could he?”
Not unless he was John McCain or Olympia Snowe.
I will be voting for Rob Portman.
If I lived in Ohio, I’d vote for him, though he’s not my first choice.
What?
Iam certain OhioWfan supports Rob Portman and knows him to be a conservative Republican.
Ditto for DollyCali.
He doesn't need to be "influenced" by "real conservatives." He IS one.
And he's going to win. CONTRIBUTE and help him. Otherwise you're helping THE ENEMY.
