snip:
-One thing that may not be helping the Republican brand in Ohio is how incredibly unpopular John Boehner is. Only 20% of voters in the state approve of the job he's doing to 59% who disapprove, and even with GOP voters he's at just 37/34. Sherrod Brown with a 46/36 approval rating is easily the state's more popular Senator- Rob Portman comes in at 29/39. Those numbers for Portman are almost identical to 26/34 when we looked at the state in April- whether it's because of his support for gay marriage or his opposition to expanded background checks Portman is not in a great position right now.

Trends look promising. Hopefully Ohioans can overcome the voting disenfranchisement crap that has gotten the GOP this far.

(6,338 posts)I hope to God Kasich ends up in the chitpile in 2016. But don't let a statewide opinion of the Orange Man lead anyone to think he's in any trouble.
The biggest issue in OH-8 isn't if Johnboy will win...it's if he will run unopposed which is very likely.
Never bet against the stupidity, racism, or homophobia of the OH-8 electorate. Not all the folks but, but the time the gerrymandering is done, the majority.
