  • JOHN WEAVER – Chief Strategist Overview
    SUBJECT: THREE MONTHS TO: KFA TEAM FROM: JOHN WEAVER – Chief Strategist Overview: Just over three months ago Governor Kasich became the last major candidate to announce he was running for President. We are now a little over three months away from the first caucuses and votes. As we near the halfway point between our announcement and the voters finally weighing in and the third debate, now is the time to assess our standing and our path to the nomination. In short, the Governor is well-positioned in New Hampshire and for the long road to the nomination. Right Message: We’ve received results back from our New Hampshire poll, conducted by Christine Matthews. The results are very encouraging. Our favorables and ballot tests are strong and the results show that voters support Governor Kasich’s policy reforms and message. The coming debates coupled with continued events in New Hampshire will allow the Governor to forcefully lay out his fiscal and economic vision, buttressed by his strong pro-growth record. This is a winning message. Our polling shows that New Hampshire voters value Governor Kasich’s profile. Voters want a candidate who has balanced budgets and created surpluses, who they also believe cares about them and will work across party lines to get things done. This is John Kasich in a nutshell. Total Very Important Important 92% 60% Has balanced budgets and created surpluses 86% 59% Cares about people like me 85% 59% Will work across the aisle to get things done 84% 40% Has national security experience 79% 42% Has cut taxes 48% 14% Has been a governor Voters also respond to the Governor’s record and his plan for the future: Total More Favorable Less Favorable No More Fav Much Smwt Smwt Much Difference 72% 42% 30% 6% 4% 19% Cut personal and corporate taxes so families and job creators keep more of what they earn.

  • Clinton Leads in Pennsylvania, Ohio; Ties Bush in Florida, Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll Finds
    Peter A. Brown, Assistant Director, (203) 535-6203 Tim Malloy, Assistant Director (203) 645-8043 Rubenstein Associates, Inc., Public Relations Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR RELEASE: FEBRUARY 3, 2015 CLINTON LEADS IN PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO; TIES BUSH IN FLORIDA, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY SWING STATE POLL FINDS --- FLORIDA: Clinton 44 – Bush 43 OHIO: Clinton 47 – Bush 36 PENNSYLVANIA: Clinton 50 – Christie 39 A first look at three critical swing states, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, for the 2016 presidential election is good news for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who tops possible Republican contenders in every matchup, except Florida, where she ties former Gov. Jeb Bush, and Ohio, where she ties Gov. John Kasich, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll released today. Overall, Gov. Bush runs best of any Republican listed against Clinton, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. The Swing State Poll focuses on Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania because since 1960 no candidate has won the presidential race without taking at least two of these three states. Clinton’s favorability rating tops 50 percent in each state, while Republican ratings range from negative to mixed to slightly positive, except for Bush in Florida and Kasich in Ohio. Of three “Native Son” candidates, measured against Clinton only in their home states, only Ohio Gov. John Kasich gives the Democrat a good run, getting 43 percent to her 44 percent. Matchups between Clinton and her closest Republican opponent in each state show: Florida: Clinton at 44 percent to Bush’s 43 percent; Ohio: Clinton over Bush 47 – 36 percent; Pennsylvania: Clinton tops New Jersey Gov.

Caretaker Tim Striker said the barn at the Hardin County Farm Museum, locat- ed just east of the fair- grounds, was built 100 years ago and has stood the test of time until recently. A effort is underway to help the county raise funding to have the large structure’s roof replaced and restored so the old barn can live a new productive century. The barn was built in 1912 or 1913, said Striker, after its predecessor was burned to the ground following a thun- derstorm in July 1912.
