    Ohio Governor's Race a Dead Heat, Quinnipiac University

    Peter A. Brown Assistant Director, Quinnipiac University Polling Institute (203) 582-5201 (203) 535-6203 Rubenstein Associates, Inc. Public Relations Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR RELEASE: NOVEMBER 1, 2010 OHIO GOVERNOR’S RACE A DEAD HEAT, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; REPUBLICAN HAS 19-POINT LEAD IN SENATE RACE The race for Ohio governor is a dead heat with Republican John Kasich getting 47 percent of likely voters to 46 percent for Democratic incumbent Gov. Ted Strickland, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. In the U.S. Senate race, Republican Rob Portman has an insurmountable 56 – 37 percent lead over Democratic Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University survey, conducted by live interviewers, finds. Strickland, who had trailed by double digits earlier in the fall campaign, is leading among Democrats 90 – 6 percent, but Kasich is ahead among Republicans 83 – 10 percent and independent voters 57 – 36 percent in the survey completed Saturday of those who say they are likely to vote or have already cast their ballots. Critical to the outcome are the 6 percent of likely voters who remain undecided and another 5 percent who have selected a candidate but say they could change their mind. “The governor’s race is a statistical tie. It could go either way,” said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “Gov. Ted Strickland has come from far back. The question is whether he can get over the hump. He has momentum on his side. John Kasich has the historical tendency of undecided voters to break against well-known incumbents at the very end of a campaign.” Strickland is viewed favorably by 45 percent and unfavorably by the same percentage of likely voters.
