COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A new newspaper poll shows that
Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown has opened up a 10-point lead over Republican
challenger Josh Mandel.
The poll published Monday by The Columbus
Dispatch shows the first-term Democratic senator leading Mandel, the
state treasurer, by 49 percent to 39 percent. In the first Dispatch poll
Aug. 26, the two were tied at 44 percent.
The mail poll of 1,662
randomly selected likely Ohio voters was taken from Sept. 19 through
Saturday. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage
points.
The transformation in the Senate contest parallels that of
the presidential race in the battleground state, which went from
deadlocked in the Dispatch survey to a 9 percentage point margin for
President Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney.
