I will believe all the polls when they are verified by the election.
If true, this bodes bad for Obama in 2012

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Former GOP Congressman Rob Portman, left, leads Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, right, 55 percent to 35 percent in the race to replace George Voinovich in the Senate according to a Quinnipiac Poll.
Today it's Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher down 20 points, 55 percent to 35 percent, to former GOP Congressman Rob Portman of Cincinnati.
Yesterday's poll release showed Republican John Kasich up 17 points on Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland.
"Voters are trying to send a message to the White House," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Polling Institute.
Unfortunately for Fisher and Strickland, President Barack Obama isn't on the ballot this year -- they are.
Obama's job approval rating among likely Ohio voters is 38 percent, with 60 percent disapproving. The health-care plan he pushed through Congress gets approval from 30 percent, with 65 percent turning thumbs down.
Perhaps indicating the Republican tilt of those likely voters, by a margin of 58 percent to 37 percent, they said they want a senator from Ohio who opposes Obama's policy. And by 49 percent to 31 percent, they want to GOP to win the 10 seats they need to resume control of the U.S. Senate.
Fisher, like Strickland, is losing among the independent voters critical to Ohio electoral success by about a two-to-one margin.
