Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) leads Republican challenger Josh Mandel by 10 points in Ohio’s closely watched U.S. Senate race, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
The latest poll from Quinnipiac University, CBS News and the New York Times shows Brown leading Mandel, the state treasurer, among likely voters, 50 percent to 40 percent. That represents a slight uptick in support for Brown since the previous Quinnipiac/CBS/NYT poll in August, when he led Mandel by 7 points.
The PollTracker Average currently shows Brown maintaining the lead he has held over Mandel the entire campaign, 49.5 percent to 41.4 percent.
