Peter Brown talks to WTAM's Colleen O'NeillThe race for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring George Voinovich in 2010 is neck and neck for the Democratic candidates, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.
Lee Fisher holds a 24 to 21 percent lead over Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
Assistant Poll Director Peter Brown says, if the election were held today they would defeat any of the GOP candidates.
As far as President Obama's approval rating, it has dropped in Ohio. Only 49-percent of Ohioans approve of the way Obama is handling our country. This is down from 62 percent in a May survey.
Brown says, that's Obama's lowest approval rating in any national or statewide poll since he was inaugurated.
The numbers are down due to the economy. Brown says, for awhile voters blamed the bad economy on former President George W. Bush, and now they're starting to point the finger at Obama.
