OHIO SENATE RACE: Sherrod Brown (+8) - Rasmussen

[TroyD]

Saturday, September 15

Rasmussen Reports - Brown +8

Brown (D) - 49

Mandel (R) - 41

------

This is a good number for Brown, especially from Rasmussen. It's actually an 8-point gain from their last poll, since they were tied in the August poll. Looks like Brown is back in control of this race!

You can see Brown going back up on the RCP tracker:

1. 8 is not enough for me to be comfortable

I don't trust the SOS in this state and Brown needs to be up by 15 to keep them from pulling something.

2. They have spent 14 million dollars against Brown in that state

looks like the Ohioans are getting sick of all those ads Plus I think its the suppression of voter ID laws there trying to enact and the people in the state are fed up with the rethugs

3. Thanks for the valuable update, TroyD!

Keep up the amazing work, Senator Sherrod Brown!

4. I think Sherrod Brown is in decent shape

You can never take anything for granted, but I think the DSCC, Obama & Bill Clinton should all make helping Elizabeth Warren in MA the big priority over the next month. That is a tough race and is key to keeping control of the Senate.
