Maybe there's hope for Ohio after all!
A new Baldwin Wallace University poll finds just 39% of Ohio adults approve of President Trumps job performance, with almost three times more saying that they they strongly disapprove of Trumps handling of the presidency than those who said they strongly approve.

(15,713 posts)As it seems that people today vote by party and not the candidate. So the voter who voted for the Republicans before will vote for them again, even if voting for the mad hatter no matter what they believe about the candidate.

(12,530 posts)I personally know 2 people who told me they're disgusted by "having" to vote for Trump. They would probably answer the same in a poll like the one in the OP.

(18,624 posts)I grew up in a part of the state rife with union Kennedy Democrats. The shift to the right, even here, is a lesson not learned after the James A Rhodes era. Now with the Ohio Senate passing a fetal funeral bill last week I feel too many in the state see Kansas as an ideal role model.
I understand a lot of this is allowed as much by gerrymanded districts, but the legislators should fear for their jobs with such puritan conservative measures. I would think raising the gas tax after cutting corporate state taxes would do it.
True that the poll is encouraging though. Thanx for posting OG.

(20 posts)I think things are changing in trump country, I have had several family and friends tell me that they are not planning on supporting the Dumpster in 2020. Even my 21yr old grandson (who voted trump for his first election sad..sad..sad) has said trump is not the person he voted for and is looking at Beto.
Has anybody else's trump family members started talking about not supporting the Dumpster?

(1,298 posts)I'm thinking it was careless phrasing, and the "three times" was specific to the separate "strongly approve/disapprove" issue
