Quinnipiac Poll: OH Women Lead In Disapproval Of Governor, oppose curbing unions

Ohio voters disapprove 46 - 30 percent of the way Gov. John Kasich is handling his job, with women disapproving 48 - 25 percent and men disapproving 44 - 37 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Voters say 53 - 36 percent that Gov. Kasich's budget is unfair to them.

Voters oppose legislation working its way through the Ohio legislature that would limit the ability of public workers to collectively bargain, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University survey finds. But the question wording has some influence on voter response:
Half of those surveyed were asked about a bill that limited "collective bargaining," and oppose the measure 48 - 41 percent;
The other half were asked about a bill that limited "collective bargaining rights," and oppose that measure 54 - 35 percent.
"Gov. John Kasich has gotten off to a rocky start with Ohio voters, perhaps not surprising given the size of the cuts in public services and state spending that he has proposed," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling institute. "Although there is almost nothing in these numbers that Kasich can point to as evidence of his popularity or that of his proposals, he can take solace from the fact that he has almost four years to turn around public opinion.

"The size of the gender gap in Gov. Kasich's approval rating is noteworthy. There also are gender gaps on other questions regarding how to deal with the state's budget.

I was one of the women surveyed for this poll. I actually got a call back from Quinnipiac from them several of my answers checking my answers.

Unfortunately, Kasich probably could care less about his approval ratings. It's full steam ahead to sell off valuable state assets to cronies. :mad:



Of note is the trend in the disapproval of Kasich:

However, it should have been obvious to most people where the republicans stood, since they were quite open about their feelings concerning women's rights

self absorbed in their own lives they don't pay attention unless it personally effects them (as in more union folks getting active)

I live in an affluent, well educated suburb and am appalled at the apathy & lack of knowledge of issues.

would be worse if voters understood his mass privatization goals.

Privatization is just a sneaky way to sell off state assets the citizens hold in common. All of these state services will eventually cost the tax payer more, not less. Of course this serves the dual purpose of enriching cronies while starving the beast.

If people were only informed a Republican would never be elected dog catcher.

crook! His pockets will come first.
