Two newly released polls on the Ohio gubernatorial race find Republican former Rep. John Kasich on top of Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland. A Rasmussen survey has the Republican leading 48%-44%, while a SurveyUSA poll has the contest favoring Kasich 49%-44%, with Libertarian Ken Matesz earning 3% and Green Party candidate Dennis Spisak polling at 1%.
When Rasmussen looked at this race two weeks ago, Kasich was on top 48%-45%, while SurveyUSA’s last poll of the race from mid-September found him leading with 52% versus Strickland’s 40%, Spisak’s 3%, and Matesz’s 2%.
The margin of error for both surveys is ±4.0 percentage points.
