From the DSCC this morning, our first guest blogger at the Candidates Table, Sherrod Brown is leading Mike Dewine:
A Feldman Group poll out today shows Sherrod Brown leading Mike DeWine 45% - 44% while a new Cleveland Plain-Dealer poll out this weekend reveals that less than one out of every two voters surveyed have a favorable opinion of DeWine. DeWine "has a 41 percent favorable rating, and that's always dangerous for an incumbent," said Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon Polling and Research who conducted the P-D poll. DeWine's problems are further complicated by a bad relationship with his conservative base, something punctuated by the symbolic conservative primary challenges he face tomorrow.
In other news, DeWine got slammed for being among Congress' top recipients of oil and gas contributions and for failing to use his post as head of the Judiciary Committee's antitrust panel to probe how oil industry consolidation has led to rising gas prices. In its GOP Senate endorsement, a local newspaper gave DeWine a reluctant endorsement, rebuking him for the state's loss of high-paying jobs, a health care crisis and the collapse of Ohio's public school system.
