Poll: Ohio gov.'s job approval slips

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A poll finds Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland's job approval rating has slipped and puts the Democrat even with Republican challenger John Kasich.

In the Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, 45 percent of Ohio voters say Strickland is doing a good job, down from 48 percent in a similar poll released in September. Forty-three percent disapprove of how the governor is handling things.

The poll shows if an election for Ohio governor were held today, 40 percent would go with Strickland and 40 percent would vote for Kasich.

The governor has yet to make a formal re-election announcement.

The survey of 1,123 Ohio voters was taken from Nov. 5-9 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
