Polling

The Fix has polling for the Democratic primary in OH-18. It is internal polling done by Zack Space's campaign, so as with any internal polling, take it with a grain of salt.

The polling , done by pollster Alan Secrest show Space leading the four way race with 22%, followed by Ralph Applegate with 12%, Joe Sulzer with 11%, and Jennifer Stewart with 8%.

This race is going to come down to Space and Sulzer, with Sulzer getting hurt right now by an anemic 19% name ID. Sulzer does have three times the money on hand that Space does to make the push to the May 2nd primary, but this one is going to be close. Whoever wins is going to do so with only a plurality, so the winner will still be facing an uphill battle should Bob Ney manage to escape the noose of a federal investigation, although I see that as very unlikely to happen.
