Here is a summary of the polls in the last week for the Ohio Senate Race
| Poll | Date | DeWine (R) | Brown (D) |
| Quinnipiac | 10/17 | 41% | 53% |
| Rasmussen | 10/16 | 41% | 46% |
| SurveyUSA | 10/12 | 40% | 54% |
| Bliss Institute | 10/10 | 36.3% | 35% |
| AVERAGE | 39.6% | 47% |
With numbers like that it is no wonder why the GOP has given up on DeWine.
