A new Rasmussen poll of the Ohio gubernatorial race finds Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland well within striking distance of Republican former Rep. John Kasich.
The latest survey shows the incumbent governor behind 48%-45%– within the survey’s margin of error of ±4.0 percentage points. When Rasmussen took a look at the race on September 27, Kasich was ahead by a more significant eight-point margin, 50%-42%.
The TPM Poll Average still shows Kasich ahead in the contest 48.7%-42.5%.
