Poll: Sen. Brown re-election chances improve, even against Drew Carey
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s re-election hopes took a turn for the better in a new Public Policy Polling survey released Wednesday, with Brown, a Democrat, leading potential Republican challengers by 15 to 19 points.
The poll even tested comedian and Cleveland native Drew Carey against Brown in a possible 2012 matchup and the Democrat led, 49-34 percent.
PPP, based in Raleigh, N.C., found Brown leading Republican Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, 49-30 percent, after barely edging Taylor, 40-38 in an earlier survey.
Brown also led U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, 49-30 percent in the new poll, a bigger lead than the 43-35 percent edge Brown had earlier.
Republican State Treasurer Josh Mandel, who is emerging as a possible candidate to take on Brown in 2012, also lagged. Brown led, 48-32 percent.
Brown also topped Secretary of State Jon Husted, 49-34 percent.
Against Cleveland-area U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette, Brown led 48-30 percent.
PPP polled 559 Ohio voters from Thursday, March 10 to Sunday, March 13 and the margin of error was plus or minus 4.1 percent.
