SurveyUSA also polled the upcoming Governor’s Race in Ohio:
3 weeks till early voting begins and 7 weeks until ballots are counted, Democrats Richard Cordray and Dennis Kucinich are tied in the primary battle to oppose presumptive Republican Gubernatorial nominee Mike DeWine, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for WOIO-TV in Cleveland.
Republican incumbent Governor John Kasich is term-limited. DeWine, well known in Ohio politics, is opposed in the Primary by Mary Taylor, where DeWine leads by 32 points at this hour and is in no danger of being defeated in an upset.
When voters are asked to imagine a November general election ballot with DeWine facing Kucinich and DeWine facing Cordray, Cordray outperforms long-time Ohio fixture Kucinich. Today, 33 weeks till votes are counted, it's:
* DeWine 47%, Cordray 39% --- an 8-point advantage for the Republican.
* DeWine 51%, Kucinich 38% --- a 13-point advantage for the Republican.
Cordray is still lacking name recognition compared to DeWine but he has time to pull that around. This would also be the time for him to spend his money to take out Kucinich in convincing Democratic voters he is the best choice. Let’s help him make the case.
