COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A poll shows Ohio voters are slightly more approving of the job done by Governor Ted Strickland, and he has pulled ahead of Republican challenger John Kasich.
In the Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday, 48 percent say Strickland is doing a good job, up from 45 percent in a similar poll released in November. Forty percent disapprove of the governor's performance.
The poll finds if the election for Ohio governor were held today, 44 percent would choose Strickland, 39 percent would vote for Kasich. The last poll had them tied at 40 percent.
Sixty two percent now say they don't know enough about Kasich to have an opinion of him.
The survey of 1,662 Ohio voters was taken February 16-21 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

I know some seniors who will definitely not be voting for Strickland. When we saw him holding up the arm of obama that was it. We will be voting for John Kasich when November gets here for SURE!!!Strickland sees what is happening because of Obama being narsasistic wanting his way no matter what it costs all of us. We will be getting out the Vote, but it will be for Mr. Kasich who was an excellent while serving in Congress. Strickland believes in Abortion too, since he has strayed from God, and apparently the Ten Commandments. May John Kasich run OHIO!!!

The only way he gets my vote is if Obama runs against him. He is a joke. He forgets where he came from. He has done nothing to act on his promises for the people from his home area. He is trying to turn our schools into prisons. He has just let his head get to swollen. He has raised taxes this coming year. Yet, he wants to take credit for cutting them. He is just another part of the mumbo jumbo game.

It's so sad the way Southern Ohio has been treated by him and his administration. He has done nothing to support the Piketon atomic plant since the promise by our President of guaranteeing funding of the plant has been broken. NOthing, nada, zilch, zero, not a whimper or even letters of discontent to the white house. He, like so many others, have not called for accountability for campaign promises broken. Now we find out our President is supporting giving the money to a French company..... and nothing is being said. He should be raising all kinds of "heck" demanding the President stand up to promises made to him from the white house.
