According to the results of a new poll conducted by Public Policy Polling, both Democrats are leading in the 2010 Ohio Senate race to replace retiring Republican Senator George Voinovich. However, their lead is only slight.

Democrats Jennifer Bruner and Lee Fisher are beating the GOP's Rob Portman, and are leading Portman by almost the same narrow margin. Fisher leads 41% to 32%, and Brunner leads 40% to 32%.

The poll also shows that it is quite early in the game, and that 36% of voters aren't sure of their thoughts on Brunner or Fisher. 44% of voters are unsure of Portman.

Portman, however, is leading the two Dems in another area - fundraising. A former congressman and White House budget office director for George W. Bush, Portman has raised significantly more cash than his opponents. He has raised $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. He also transfered $1.47 million from his House campaign account, bringing his total to $3.2 million. This compared to $1 million for Fisher and $207,000 for Brunner.
