Strickland Leads Kasich in Ohio
A new Quinnipiac poll in Ohio finds Gov. Ted Strickland (D) leads challenger John Kasich (R) in the race for governor, 44% to 38%.
Said pollster Peter Brown: “Although Gov. Ted Strickland remains ahead, there are a couple of numbers that might be of some concern to his re-election committee. Only 37% of voters say he has kept his campaign promises and the race remains close even though 62% of voters don’t know enough about Kasich to have an opinion of him.”
