Fisher Has 20-Point Lead In Ohio Dem Senate Primary

[ccharles000]

Ohio Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher holds a 43 - 23 percent likely voter lead over Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in Tuesday's Democratic primary race for the U.S. Senate, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Another 32 percent are undecided and 44 percent of Democrats who name a candidate say they might change their minds.

This compares to a 41 - 24 percent Fisher lead in an April 28 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

"Lt. Gov. Fisher started the campaign better known and raised more money to keep him better known and able to get out his message. On the eve of the primary, he is in very strong shape to win," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

"Ms. Brunner would need to hold all of those who say they are voting for her and win most of the undecided voters in order to prevail. Brunner voters are just as likely to change their minds as Fisher voters."
