Republican Senate nominee Bernie Moreno is tied with Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) in Ohio after eroding the incumbent Democrats’ once-substantial lead.
Moreno has fought through both a bruising primary and tens of millions in attack ads from Brown and Democrat groups in what has become the most expensive Senate race of the cycle.
An internal poll from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has Moreno tied with Brown at 46 percent, the Hill reported.
In April, that same poll had Moreno down seven points to Brown.
Republicans have rushed to support Moreno in the deepening red state, outspending Democratic groups by $41 million during September alone ($91 million to $50 million).
That spending has paid dividends. The NRSC polls show Brown’s approval and disapproval numbers are now dead even at 45 percent.
Those numbers were 49 to 36 percent in April, when Brown held his now-evaporated lead over Moreno.
Moreno’s trajectory is similar to that of Sen. JD Vance’s (R-OH), who emerged from another bruising primary behind his Democrat opponent but steadily gained support.

Moreno has an advantage Vance did not have – Donald Trump’s name will be on the ballot. Trump won the state by eight points in 2016 and 2020 and is expected to carry the state again, driving supporters who might have sat out the 2022 midterms to the polls.

Republicans are running strong in swing states as well, buoyed by Trump’s support. They hope to flip seats from incumbents, notably in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Nevada, and capture open seats in Michigan and a handful of other states.

Brown is so much like our cipher Senior U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr. Nobody dislikes either very much because they DO NOTHING and say nothing controversial. Just party rubber stamps.
Right, and this time Brown is going down.
Somehow, tie Brown to Heels-Up and watch him drop like a lead sinker.
I have a feeling that whites are leaving the Democrat party.
Richard Barris was saying this is just pollsters trying to look like they weren’t in the tank for him and that Brown was never the favorite to begin with
More good news for today.
Brown should pay for all the lies he’s spreading!
