Rasmussen Reports Strickland up 17-20 Percent

Buckeye State Blog is reporting the following numbers from Rasmussen's April Gubernatorial and Senate race polls. The numbers are only available to "premium members" so I cannot access the information directly.

Strickland 52% (50%, 47%)
Blackwell 35% (40%, 35%)

Strickland 51% (47%, 44%)
Petro 31% (34%, 37%)

DeWine 43% (45%, 46%)
Brown 41% (42%, 37%)


Obviously, this is great news for Ted Strickland. If things keep going this way it may not even be a close race. The Senate numbers are a little harder to read but I still take it as a good sign for Brown. Although he lost 1 percentage point from last months poll, Dewine is down 2 points. It isn't much of a significant change but it does show him slowly closing the gap.

I'm surprised people still have so much faith in polls. Not only have they been wrong in recent elections, we have to remember: Blackwell still counts the votes even though he doesn't conduct the polls himself.

Vote for Fitrakis!
