Columbus- Weary from a string of scandals and bad economic news, a majority of likely voters want Democrats to retake control of Ohio government, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

Republican fatigue is particularly evident among the Democrats surveyed. But 62 percent of the important swing voters said they'd like to end the GOP dominance that began 15 years ago, according to a telephone poll of likely primary voters conducted by the University of Akron's Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics.

"If the desire for change is strong enough, it could affect Republicans up and down the ticket," Bliss Institute Director John Green told a news conference.


The poll showed that 59 percent of respondents prefer a Democratic comeback, 33.6 percent want Republicans to retain control of the Ohio Statehouse and 7.4 percent are undecided...
