Rassy has a terrible record especially in Ohio. In 2008, their last poll had Obama/McCain tied (really Obama +5) and in 2010, their net averages were off by 2 points in the Governor's race and off by 6 points in the Senate race; in both instances giving Kasich and Portman higher leads than what they won by. With that said, Kasich probably is leading by 4-5 in this poll then, but the other polls released recently from Quinnipiac and SurveyUSA still give Kasich that comfortable 7-8 point advantage for now with a FitzGerald comeback very likely. Don't count him out!

Unskewing polls? LoL

[Oldiesfreak1854]

That's less than in Quinnipiac's poll.  So much for having an R bias.

Quinnipac has a better record and has him up double this.

Quinnipiac, of all the pollsters, had the best record in 2010.

[Bojack Horseman]

Damn. Kasich is another one who needs to be put back in his place.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Damn. Kasich is another one who needs to be put back in his place.

As in Washington?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Damn. Kasich is another one who needs to be put back in his place.

Too bad the voters of Ohio disagree with you.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Mike DeWine in May 2006 was exactly the same 7 pts ahead of Brown in the Rasmussen poll. PPP has it a close race as well. Fitzgerald won't go away quietly and can make it competettive.

[Hifly]

Fitzgerald won't go away quietly and can make it competettive.

When is he going to make it competitive?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

In the PPP polls he have stayed 4-5 pts back.

[Hifly]

Whatever

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

This is clearly second tier to MI or Pa or FL. But if there is a surprise on election night expect Fitzgerald or ALG to come through, though

To be fair, OC was not adding any value, and hifly was responding only as normal people respond to such nonsense.

I was pointing out that how ridiculous the QU poll had Kasich up. Not disputing that he has the lead as everyone.e else pointed out in this thread. But using remarks like that is uncalled for.

[Miles]

Eh, only 3 points off from FitzGerald's PPP internal. Don't know if thats good or bad.
