2. And my usual post-Rasmussen poll correction: Kasich leads by 2

+5 for the Democrat in a Rasmussen poll.

3. Per Ras site this is actually a gain for Strickland.

Late last month, Kasich posted a 52% to 40% lead when leaners were included. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate. From this point forward, Rasmussen Reports considers results with leaners the primary indicator of the race.
