Raleigh, N.C. – Republicans and Democrats rarely find common ground on controversial issues. However, in a recent Public Policy Polling survey Ohioans agreed 64/17 that Pete Rose should be inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Democrats are in favor of giving the MLB career hits leader the honor 59/18. Independents support Rose 63/22 while Republicans show even greater support at 69/16.

Similarly, Republicans and Democrats are united in support for the Cleveland Cavaliers 54/5 and 56/6 respectively as they take on the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Both parties also view Akron native LeBron James favorably at a rate of 63/8 among Democrats and 57/15 among Republicans.

The rivalry between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines may be responsible for 30% of voters having a negative opinion of the state of Michigan. Among other surrounding states voters had a favorable view of Kentucky 48/20, Pennsylvania 54/10, West Virginia 45/15, and Indiana 39/17. There is a notable partisan divide between Republicans (47/11) and Democrats (36/19) in how favorably each views Indiana. This may be due to differing opinions on Indiana’s controversial and much- publicized Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

House Speaker John Boehner is very unpopular in his home state, attracting faint support for his leadership even among Republican voters. Overall just 26% of voters approve of the job he’s doing to 55% who disapprove. While he’s on narrowly positive ground within his own party (45/38) he’s exceedingly disliked by Democrats (14/67) and independents (16/62) alike.

“There’s never been as much attention paid to how much voters dislike John Boehner as there was when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “But even in his own state voters are quite unified in their displeasure with his leadership.”

Public Policy Polling surveyed 859 registered Ohioan voters from June 4th-7th. The margin of error for this survey was 3.3% +/-. 80% of participants responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet.
