In head-to-head matchups
m
wiith their likelly opponentss next fall, bboth Gov. Johhn Kasich,
who narrowly
n
ou
usted Ted Strrickland in 2010, and Treeausrer Joshh Mandel, whho lost a bidd
for U.S.
U Senate so
oundly last fall,
f are bareely above 40% of the votte against litttle-known
Demo
ocratic oppo
onents. In faact, Mandel already
a
trailss state Rep. C
Connie Pillich, and
Kasicch can only tie
t Cuyahoga County Ex
xecutive Ed F
FitzGerald.
Kasicchs job apprroval numbeers are pretty
y weak. 37%
% approve annd 42% disappprove of hiis
job performance, similar to th
he 42-47 sprread we founnd in Augustt. Only seveen of the 29
goverrnors runnin
ng for re-elecction next yeear are in woorse shape, pputting him inn the top
third in terms of vulnerability
v
y. Six of tho
ose seven bellow Kasich in their voteers eyes are
Repu
ublicans.
Hurtiing Kasich most
m is that his
h own basee is not stronngly behind hhim. Only 555% of
Repu
ublicans apprrove, and 26% disapprov
ve of the wo rk he is doinng. Normallly,
incum
mbents in solid shape forr re-election, especially tthose who w
want to fend off primary
challeenges, shoulld have approvals in the 75-80% rannge with theirr own partisans, if not
betterr. Perhaps th
hat is why Kasich
K
has drrawn not onlly a strong D
Democratic cchallenger
but allso a Libertaarian opponeent.
That Libertarian, Charlie Earrl, draws 6% of the vote,, including 11% of indeppendents,
holdiing Kasich to
o a 41% tie with
w FitzGerrald. FitzGeerald unites hhis party (wiith 72% of
their support) mo
ore than Kasiich does his (68%).
