June 25, 2013 - Ohio Gov Hits All-Time Job Approval High Mark, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Voters Say Economy Is Getting Better, Thanks To Kasich PDF format Buoyed by voter perception that the Ohio economy is improving, Gov. John Kasich gets a 54 - 32 percent job approval, inching up to his highest score ever, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. With the higher approval rating, Gov. Kasich stretches his lead to 47 - 33 over Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, a possible Democratic challenger in the 2014 governor's race, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. The governor also has a 47 - 36 percent reelection lead over another possible Democratic challenger, U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray. Voters say 49 - 37 percent that Kasich deserves to be reelected. "Ohio Gov. John Kasich's turnaround continues as he builds his reelection campaign. The number of people who think he is doing a good job continues to climb incrementally and his favorable/unfavorable ratio among voters is impressive. The only bright spot for Democrats in these numbers is that Kasich remains just below the magic 50 percent threshold when voters are asked if he deserves a second term in the governor's chair," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "But he is awfully close. "Ohio voters think their economy is getting better and they credit Mr. Kasich more than they credit President Barack Obama for that brightening economic environment. Of course there are still 16 months until Election Day, so anything can happen. After all, 16 months ago, Kasich's job approval was a negative 40 - 46 percent, at the beginning of his reversal of fortunes from when his job approval was in the 30s." Kasich gets thumbs up on his job performance from 81 percent of Republicans, 52 percent of independent voters and 32 percent of Democrats. He has a gender gap with 62 percent of men but only 47 percent of women approving of his job performance. In a trial matchup with Democrat FitzGerald, the governor carries Republicans 86 - 3 percent and independent voters 45 - 28 percent, but loses Democrats 74 - 11 percent. The Republican wins among men 56 - 26 percent. Women are divided with 40 percent for FitzGerald and 38 percent for Kasich, impressive for a Republican these days. Kasich carries all age groups and both those who are and are not college graduates, while also winning all income levels except those making less than $50,000 annually. "All in all, at this stage, Kasich has done a pretty good job appealing to voters across the state," said Brown. "FitzGerald remains pretty much an unknown to most Ohioans, with only one in four voters knowing enough about him to have formed an opinion. The election is a long way away, but the next stage will be the race to define FitzGerald, positively by the candidate himself and negatively by the Kasich folks." Kasich has a 47 - 28 percent favorability rating. For FitzGerald, 76 percent don't know enough about him to form an opinion. For Cordray, 66 percent don't know enough. Ohio voters approve 52 - 37 percent of the way Kasich is handling the economy. Voters say 44 - 11 percent that the economy is getting better rather than worse, with 42 percent saying it's unchanged. Among those who say the economy is getting better, 63 percent give the Obama Administration "a lot," "some" or "a little" of the credit, while 91 percent of Ohio voters give the Kasich Administration "a lot," "some" or "a little" of the credit. "History says that improving economies tend to help incumbents and that appears to be the case in Ohio's governor's race," said Brown. From June 18 - 23, Quinnipiac University surveyed 941 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.
