Polling the DeWine-Pierce Race

NixGuy notes that Buckeye State Blog has been leaked what appears to be primary poll numbers for the Senate race.
If the Republican primary for US Senate were held today, whom would you support if the candidates are Mike DeWine and Bill Pierce?

Mike DeWine 41%
Bill Pierce 26%
A few things to point out...

I haven't heard of any polls having been taken on this race. I'd be delighted to know if somebody finally got around to it. I'd be very interested in seeing more about these numbers, if they are in fact real.

The numbers I've quoted above represent only 67% of whomever they polled. What response did the other 33% give? Who was polled? How many were polled? And from what regions of the state were these folks from?

It is amazing that 59% of whomever was polled doesn't support Mike DeWine outright. That says a LOT right there.

Final thought: there is an awful lot we don't know about this poll or this race.

DISCLOSURE: I am the blog administrator for Pierce for Senate.

PS: NixGuy...you're pretty swell too. :)
