Husted holds 6-point lead over Brown in Ohio: Poll
Incumbent Republican Jon Husted leads former Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown by 6 points in a poll of 1,000 Ohio voters with a 3% margin of error, despite Brown's higher name recognition.
- Emerson College Polling released its Friday survey showing incumbent Republican senator Jon Husted leading former Democratic senator Sherrod Brown 50% to 44%, with 7% undecided.

- Among demographic groups, the survey reveals sharp splits: Husted leads male voters, voters without a college degree by 16 points, and voters over 40 by 14; Brown leads voters under 40 by 13 and independent voters by eight.
