The Q poll showed former Rep. John Kasich (R) leading Gov. Ted Strickland (D) by 17 points and former Rep. Rob Portman (R) ahead of Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher (D) by 20.
As Ohio goes, may go the entire country. Democrats gained large amounts of political ground in the state in 2006 and 2008 but are struggling to hold it with the state's economy still struggling in the runup to this midterm election. Can they stop the pendulum from swinging back to Republicans?

Ted Strickland is getting desperate and losing the Governor race. His non-stop negative campaign is turning off voters. As is the negative campaign of Liberals all over the country. Ohio will be Conservative-absolutely.
OHIO has always been and will always be a swing state! NOBODY has a grasp on OHIO except the voters..... current gov.... TED STRICKLAND a democrat..... Before him it was Robert Taft a republican!.
BE normal standards a president is voted in and two years later congress majority goes to the opposite party of the president..... only time that didn't happen was with BUSH and look at what a mess that turned out..... A can't afford not keep checks and balances.......Is Ohio slipping from Democrats' grasp a preview of the Donkey Midterm Slaughter planned in 45 days from now?

Thank goodness the Tea Party is nominating enough loons to prevent the house and senate from going over to the GOP.Is Ohio slipping from Democrats' grasp a preview of the Donkey Midterm Slaughter planned in 45 days from now?
Historically, the president's "honeymoon effect" wears off at this point (for the slow ones, the lofty, positive expectations on a president after their reelection). As a result, of course, the party in charge typically loses seats in the next Midterm (UNLESS, there is a good economy/no real controversial issues, which is not the case).
Thus, it's to be expected. If McCain was president, same thing, the economy would still not be recovering as much (he'd probably also institute stimulus packages, Bush did it too), then the Republicans would be the one to feel the heat.
It's all natural. And also an additional factor is the convenient case of amnesia the American people get-that applies to both parties.
