Latest poll shows historic low for Obama's approval rating in Ohio


COLUMBUS — President Obama’s approval rating has hit an historic low as more than half of Ohioans polled say he’s not trustworthy, according to the latest Quinnipiac Poll released today.

The low approval number — just 34 percent approve to 61 percent who do not — is not only a record for him in Ohio but in any national or state poll the Connecticut-based polling institute has conducted.

Part of the reason appears to be the President's signature healthcare reform law, which continues to be unpopular among Ohioans.

“This is a state considered a bellwether where he got 51 percent of the vote just 12 months ago,” said Peter A. Brown, the institute’s assistant director. “Only 30 percent of men, 38 percent of women, and 27 percent of white voters, along with 83 percent of black voters, give him a thumbs up.”

While Kasich did not score high for President, he did have a 52% approval rating for Governor.

1. I cannot understand

the high approval rate for Kasich. He attacked the public sector unions and his popularity plummeted shortly after taking office. He's an ass.

2. That is also my impression, albeit from a distance.
