Poll shows Gov. Ted Strickland's job approval slips
TweetPublished: Wed, November 11, 2009 @ 9:23 a.m.
COLUMBUS (AP) — A poll finds Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland’s job approval rating has slipped and puts the Democrat even with Republican challenger John Kasich.
In the Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, 45 percent of Ohio voters say Strickland is doing a good job, down from 48 percent in a similar poll released in September. Forty-three percent disapprove of how the governor is handling things.
The poll shows if an election for Ohio governor were held today, 40 percent would go with Strickland and 40 percent would vote for Kasich.
The governor has yet to make a formal re-election announcement.
The survey of 1,123 Ohio voters was taken from Nov. 5-9 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

KASICH 2010
The GOP is going to sweep the Democrats in 2010 in Ohio!
Well lets see. He made a campaign promise that he would never allow casino's in Ohio. Last week, issue 3 passed, with our Governors support. He can't figure out how to balence our state so he's gotten desperate enough to abandon his compaign promises. ITS TIME FOR CHANGE.
He needs to address the potential downturn in the racing industry now that the gambling initiative has passed. I'd suppose there are over 10k jobs in-state under the race track umbrella, gotta try to keep it competitive. If he invokes the Lottery's placement of slots at race tracks it will upset the tighty-righties but whatever, they obviously don't hold all the cards anymore (pun) -- gotta make that loot. Bottom lines buy elections.
and in addition to all that he stopped executions
