Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown got some bad polling news this week as his race with Republican challenger businessman Bernie Moreno continues to tighten — and now shows Moreno ahead.

From The New York Post:

The ActiVote poll, which surveyed 400 likely voters between Aug. 16 and Sept. 22, shows Brown’s Republican challenger, businessman Bernie Moreno, 2.2 points ahead, 51.1% to 48.9%.

The other poll comes from RMG Research, which surveyed 781 likely voters from Sept. 18 to 20. Moreno leads by 2 points in this survey as well, 48% to Brown’s 46%.

Both polls show the race within their margins of error, +/- 4.9 points in the ActiVote poll and 3.5 points in RMG’s.

This Ohio Senate race has been labeled a toss-up since the very start, but Brown has maintained a 3- to 5-point edge in the polls before this data. The RealClearPolitics polling average gives Brown a 3.8-point advantage.

“This is bad,” the Ohio Democratic Party said in a campaign fundraising email soon after the polls were released. “We can’t let Bernie Moreno gain any more ground — not if we want to keep the Senate blue.“
