2010: Strickland looking strong

OHIO: A new Quinnipiac poll shows Ohio voters approving of Gov. Ted Strickland (D) by a 54%-25% margin. What’s more, 46% say they would back for a second term, while just 26% say they support an unnamed Republican. But Sen. George Voinovich isn’t in as strong of a position for re-election: 36% say they would back him for another term, while 35% support an unnamed Democrat.

You're polling for 2010 already? Why not 2012? How are things looking for 2018?
Wow, it seems when one election is over, you start gearing up for the next.  Just trying to keep busy then, huh?

Could this be a wave that changes Ohio to more likely Democrat state in the future?  Have the Republicans fail to make their point?  It appears that they have image problem that could hurt them for years to come.
