This poll was conducted for a super PAC prioritized with making sure Strickland doesn't become a Senator, so yeah take this for what you will. This is going to start out a tight one.

It will likely get to the point though where Portman starts widening the gap between him and Strickland.

[IceSpear]

Sounds legit.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

FL and OH are quasi important states, but will be more important should Hassan decline the senate run.

Pa, CO and NV will decide the senate battle. I am confident in IL and WI.

This is obviously a Republican internal/junk poll.

Edit: You also left out the part where Portman leads Sittenfield 56-21, Lebron.

Partisan pollster. Suspect.

Omg that's really bad, even for an internal.

That's a name recognition problem. Had national Democrats backed behind Sittenfeld (unopposed), I'm fairly confident he would have the necessary resources to make up lost ground and would end up putting in a hard-fought, but unsuccessful effort against Portman.

The Portman/Sittenfeld poll is meaningless though. Strickland will be the nominee, so I would be paying more attention to the fact that regardless of how skewed this poll is, just how mediocre Strickland is viewed by Ohioans when it comes to his record as governor. Portman will wisely take full advantage of that.

This is a Republican internal, not a credible poll.  We've had two of those and one showed Strickland up by 9% and the other showed the race tied.

Portman wins by 5. Sorry, y'all.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is an internal, and Dems have a definate chance of winning OH 18 electors and def Portman.

So you assume that Hillary won't win by a landslide? There aren't THAT many crossover voters in OH, so...

There were quite a lot in 2010, seeing as Portman won by 16 more points than Kasich did.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

FL or Ohio are backdrops to a Maggie Hassan; no, but it is CO; NV; Pa; IL and WI that are part of the 272 firewall; OH will complinent it with 290 electors. Ideally for a Kaine VP candidacy; which Va and OH are very much alike.

2004:
Bush wins by 2
Voinovich wins by 28

If a Republican internal poll only has Portman up by 7, I'd say he's in at least some trouble. At this point, I'm guessing that Portman will hang on, but it could end up being pretty tight.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I think Hilary and Strickland will wind up winning. We will see when PPP comes out with its CO, OH, and Pa polls which will get Hillary to 270, but has Dems trailing at some point.

Which is all the Dems need plus NH to win prez and senate.

2000:
Bush wins by 3.5
DeWine wins by 24

2012:
Obama wins by 3
Brown wins by 6

There is a great amount of crossover support for either party depending on the year.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Strickland isnt any ordinary Politician; he is more of a celebrity; just like in FL or Pa; usually 2 of 3 is required to win; and Dems usually have to win Pennsylvania; and Ohio is a golden opportunity as well. So, neither should be discounted.

Voinovich would have been a much better President.

[FairfaxFred]

Pretty much every moderate Republican is considered a DINO in the Deep South. However, Voinovich is no moderate Republican lol.

[FairfaxFred]

*RINO.
