Zogby: GOP's Santorum, DeWine Surging
Last-minute surges by Republican incumbents Rick Santorum and Mike DeWine may help torpedo Democratic hopes of gaining control of the Senate, a new poll reveals. Santorum trailed Democrat Bob Casey Jr. by nine percentage points as recently as August 21, but the new online survey of likely voters by Zogby International showed that he now trails by only four points. In Ohio, DeWine trailed Sherrod Brown by eight percentage points in August, but he too has narrowed the gap to four points.
And in New Jersey, Republican Tom Kean Jr., who has been behind incumbent appointee Bob Menendez since June and trailed him by six points in July, has now pulled into a dead heat with Menendez, at 40 percent each. Zogby also found that Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is running as an independent in Connecticut, has seen his lead over Democrat Ned Lamont shrink from 10 points in August to four points in the new poll.
