Where is Oldies "Kasich can't possibly win" Freak?
Wow, those results shock me. How on earth did his job approval increase so much so quickly? Thankfully, this is the first non-PPP poll I've seen for 2014, so I trust the results a bit more (though still not a whole lot, since Quinnipiac is rather biased toward Democrats as well). But this is great news!
They've been increasing for a while now. After the Senate Bill 5 fiasco, Kasich has changed his approach somewhat and has been governing pragmatically: the Medicare Expansion, the Cleveland Schools reform, even his budget was pretty moderate ideologically. Plus his jobs program as been fairly successful. He's by no means a lock to get re-elected but at this point he probably does have a good chance.
