Senator Sherrod Brown’s camp must be breathing easier today. A new Public Policy Polling survey shows that should libertarian Drew Carey stop hosting The Price Is Right, separate himself from his darling Seattle Sounders MLS franchise, and throw his hat into the campaign ring, Sherrod Brown would win. Whew.
The tally came in at 49 percent for Brown and 34 percent for Carey, which also shows that 34 percent of people polled are idiots.
The Dayton Daily News reports the poll also tackled opponents who are, ya know, actual possible candidates. The Senator looks safe, “leading potential Republican challengers by 15 to 19 points.”
