Compare Ted Strickland and John Kasich on Gun Rights
Polls from Rasmussen Reports, Fox News, CNN/Time, CBS News/The New York Times, The Dayton Daily News/Ohio Newspaper Poll and the Ohio Poll/ University of Cincinnati are all saying the same thing - Ohio's gubernatorial contest between incumbent Democrat Ted Strickland and Republican challenger John Kasich is down to a separation of only a couple of points, and within the polls' margin of error.
According to a poll conducted for the Safari Club International, nine in ten sportsmen and women are "very" likely to vote in the upcoming mid-term elections. The poll also found that ninety-three percent (93%) of sportsmen are concerned about gun ownership rights, with 74% saying they are "very" concerned.
It is clear from the actions of the campaigns in the past few weeks that they know the gun vote may be the difference in this race.

With some voters only just now getting down to doing their homework in preparation for Election Day, we'd like to provide this quick and easy summary of some of our past coverage of this issue to assist voters in comparing the two candidates on the issue of gun rights.
