Portman (R)..... 39%
Strickland (D).... 48%

Portman (R)... 47%
Sittenfeld (D).... 24%

Something tells me that their PA and OH numbers are fishy.

Those numbers are really shocking. I wouldn't have expected Portman to be down so badly.

Doesn't Quinnipiac have an outrageous actual margin of error on most polls?

Quinnipiac's numbers aren't adding up. They seem to think that OH is as Democratic leaning as NM, and PA is as Republican leaning as AZ. I'll buy that Portman's vulnerable, but even in a Democratic wave, he wouldn't lose by 9 points.

Portman and Strickland are probably roughly tied right now, so a poll showing Strickland up by a few points isn't too far out of reality, but Strickland's not up 9 points. He's just not.

Actually Sittenfield is probably down by more, Strickland probably leads by 4-5% right now.

Portman's biggest weakness is that he's kept a very low profile for the most part, and as a result is not very well-known in his own state. It will allow Strickland to define Portman if Portman doesn't do a good enough job of re-introducing himself to Ohio. Richard Burr is similar.

That being said, I doubt Strickland is up by 10.

Name Recognition. I completely understand Portman being down, but Strickland will not keep it up.

Also LOL @ the portman v. sittenfeld margin (though that is also a name recognition issue that would be widdled down if Sittenfeld was the nominee)

There's no way Strickland's leading by that much, and if he is it won't last. Ohioans don't remember the negative political drama and recession from 5 years ago - they remember Strickland as this folksy, nice, "common guy" type of candidate. Strickland's approval was in the toilet in 2010 and that's after a barrage of ads by Kasich that managed to convince voters Strickland was responsible for the +400,000 jobs lost, the credit downgrades, the budget deficit etc. Portman's going to do the same thing again only he'll have a lot more cash to spend than Kasich did. Just keep that in mind.

Plus FWIW, Portman's favorable ratings while they are lower than Strickland's, are going up faster than his unfavorable's.

I'm kind of curious though why they didn't poll the regions. Because with a sizable gap between Portman/P.G. and Portman/Strickland here, I could only imagine they oversampled Appalachia.

Overall, Strickland (or Sittenfeld if he magically became nominee) will lose to Portman. Dude has set himself up to be re-elected and will outperform whoever the Presidential nominee is. Strickland's faults  are in his inability to appeal to big city voters and he has a horrible retread of baggage while Sittenfeld can't make up for his name ID in time before Portman would define him.

It's just a question of whether we should run and lose with an old guy who has no future or a young, rising star who definitely has a bright future ahead of him and as his 90% of nobody knowing who he is shows, would help him out immensely with this statewide run.

Well, at least Quinnipiac is equal opportunity for skewed samples.

I'm not a big optimistic, but I disagree. The evidence from Ohio is that in a wave, basically ok incumbents can lose by big numbers.

Not only that, Kasich was the only statewide official that was able to break the hammerlock Dems have had on statewide, not local elections. Minus 2010 in which Lee Fisher fizzled. Vonovich, DeWine and Josh Mandal all who ran for Senate, but no longer in office anymore, this will go Dem in 2016, like in 2012 and 2006.

Me thinks, Dems win Pa, OH, WI and IL. Public policy polling will have better news for Dems in Pa.

PPP has already polled PA and found Toomey ahead, just like everyone else. The race is toss-up at best for the dems, and might even be Lean R.

N O that is wrong. Keep in mind that convention  +  hilary coattails could ouste tomey. if anything this race is lean D E M not G O P.

Trying to be an OC clone will only encourage him more, so I'd advise against it.

Well the last PPP favored Sestak. Cmon Indy, even lackluster candidates Gore and Kerry lost the presidency and won Pa convincingly.
