Ohio Poll: Taft disapproval numbers at 46%

They say it's about Party solidarity. It looks more like they're tying lines to a sinking ship.

According to the latest Ohio Poll, released Wednesday by the University of Cincinnati’s Institute for Policy Research, there are more Ohioans unhappy with the job Taft is doing than there are those who approve.

According to the poll, the governor’s disapproval rating is at 46 percent. Only 44 percent of Ohioans approve of his job performance.

The General Assembly polled at 54% approval. So why does Senate Republican leadership continue do Taft's bidding on HB12 by obstructing a conference committee? Why are a few Republican Senators saying that despite their pro-CCW position, they are reluctant to override Taft if he vetoes HB12?

Sen. Jim Carnes, R-St. Clairsville, recently told the media it's all because of "solidarity among Republicans".

In view of Bob Taft's huge disapproval numbers, this sounds about as sound a political position as was the "No Recall" campaign run by Democrats in California.
