CNN has predicted that Republican Rob Portman will defeat Democrat Lee Fisher for the senate seat in the 2010 Ohio Election. Even though the official results have not yet been calculated, the exit polls are showing that Portman had a commanding lead over Fisher

The exit polls show that 57% of male voters said they voted for Portman, while 51% of females voted for the Republican candidate in the 2010 Ohio Elections.

88% of Democrats voted for Lee Fisher, while only 11% selected Portman on their ballots. Of the Republican voters, 94% of voters said they chose Portman, while only 5% selected Fisher. Of the independent voters, 63% favored the Republican, Porter, while only 33% supported Fisher.

These are only exit polls, so they can not officially determine the Ohio Election results. However, they are quite reliable when the margins of votes in exit polls are so great. The official results should be coming in very shortly.
