Gov & Sen: Dems Lead in New Poll

The latest Zogby/Wall Street Journal poll shows continuing leads for both gubernatorial candidate Rep. Ted Strickland and U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-Avon):

49.7% Strickland (D)
41.4% Blackwell (R)
8.7% Undecided/Other

47.2% Brown (D)
38.7% DeWine (R)
14.1% Undecided

In the gubernatorial race, Strickland's 8.3 point lead is a substantial improvement over his 4.5 point lead in the Zogby poll last month, representing a slight increase in Strickand's number and a larger drop in Blackwell's. In the Senate race, each candidate improved about two points from one month ago, showing that more voters are making up their minds. The margin of error in the poll is 3 points.
