U.S. Sen. George Voinovich's approval rating is 30 percent, according to a survey conducted by Democratic pollster Public Policy Polling.

The Dayton Daily News reports PPP shows Vonovich (R-Cleveland) getting beat by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (D) 42 to 38 percent and also being beat against Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher (D) 40 to 38 percent.

Voinovich and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Niles) would tie at 33 percent and the senator would defeat U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Copley) by 5 percent.

An August PPP poll showed nearly identical results for Voinovich, but a Quinnipiac poll the same month gave him a 51 percent rating. In September, Republican polling Strategic Vision showed Voinovich with 53 percent approval.

Voinovich dropped hints at the Republican National Convention that he would run for reelection in 2010, PolitickerOH.com reported.
