Republican Rob Portman has a commanding lead over his Democratic opponent in the Ohio Senate race. Portman, a former Bush Administration official is trouncing current Lt. Governor Lee Fisher. Fisher is tied to unpopular Governor Ted Strickland, who has fecklessly led Ohio during the Great Recession.
Furthermore, Portman is attempting to hold the seat, which is currently held by the GOP. This comes after the 2006 race in which the Democrats were able to capture the other Senate seat from a Republican incumbent. A hold here will reverse Democratic momentum, after winning in the state in 2008. This poll is from the University of Cincinnati.
Portman (R): 58%
Fisher (D): 39%
Other/und: 3%
Fisher appears to be finished. Being down by about 20% so far basically cuts all of his chances. He might as well save his money and not even contest the last week.

Thank goodness the fine people of Ohio are getting it right this time. I never thought that Ohio would ever go blue but they did when there voted for Obama. Glad to see that people can be smart enough to see that democrats are bad for the country...
