Poll: 57 percent of Ohio voters favor repeal of collective bargaining law
State - Toledo Blade
Between this and Kasich's polling numbers, Ohio may well remain in the Democratic column come next November.
COLUMBUS -- If the election were held Tuesday instead of in two weeks, a solid majority of Ohioans would vote to reject the state's new law restricting collective bargaining by government workers.
The latest poll from Connecticut's Quinnipiac University released Tuesday showed a 25-point gap between opposition and support for Senate Bill 5, which appears on the Nov. 8 ballot as Issue 2. That's nearly double the 13-point gap seen about a month ago when the poll showed momentum shifting to the side of those trying to save the law.
"Except for Republicans, just about every demographic group favors repealing the law, said Peter Brown, Quinnipiac University Polling Institute's executive director.
By a margin of 57 percent to 32 percent, registered voters questioned said they will vote "no'' on Issue 2, rejecting the law. That compares to 51 percent to 38 percent seen on Sept. 27.
The fate of Issue 2 appears to coincide with voters' opinion of Gov. John Kasich, whose disapproval numbers are also up. Voters disapprove of his job performance by a margin of 52 percent to 36 percent.
