Poll: Voters dislike Gov. Kasich's plans for Ohio

[upstatecajun]

Ohio voters disapprove of Gov. John Kasich's performance.
They don't like his push to gut collective bargaining for public employees.

The budget he rolled out last week is regarded as unfair.

His plan to sell several Ohio prisons gets thumbs down, too.

A new poll today -- the first since Kasich unveiled his $55.5 billion two-year budget -- by Quinnipiac University contains almost no good news for Kasich, a Republican who took office a little more than two months ago.

1. What's voter sentiment so long you keep the Kochs on your side?

2. On top of this, Kasich has become a national laughingstock.

He's been in office two months, and he has already been lampooned twice on the Stewart & Colbert programs - first for his all-white-male Cabinet, then for calling a police officer who (appropriately) gave him a traffic ticket an "idiot" in a speech to public employees.

Ted Strickland was governor for four years and was never once mocked in the national media. Now the whole nation knows how foolish Ohioans were to elect a millionaire lobbyist banker man-child as our governor.

4. And, they're stuck with him for four years.

Sell the turnpikes, sell the prisons, sell the liquor monopoly.

Ohio you're screwed. Just like we are down here in Florida.

But that part of the electorate doesn't care about anything as long as they can keep their guns, and the power of the state is used to keep two guys from holding hands.

6. Don't forget ...

since 1/3/1995, Ohio has been controlled by the Republicans, most of the time exclusively by the Republicans on the national level. Since Dem John Glenn retired, it's been Republicans controlling at the national level until Sherrod Brown won in 2006.
