A new poll released by Quinnipiac continues to show massive support for the repeal of SB5, indeed the margin of dissatisfaction with this middle-class busting law is growing and now stands at 56% - 32%.Tracking our recent anaylsis showing that SB5 could turn Governor Kasich into a lame duck, the same poll shows his unpopularity rising to 50%
Below are the polling trends for SB5.
None of this means the effort to repeal SB5 should let up. Things could change quickly if supporters of repeal become complacent.
"Kasich has until 2014 when he presumably will face the voters, to turn his political fortunes around, but the timeline for the vote on SB5, which is obviously a referendum on the governor's agenda, is much shorter," said Brown. "A loss on SB5 would be a no confidence vote on the governor from the voters of Ohio."
| Poll | For SB5 | Against SB5 |
|---|---|---|
| PPP Mar 15th | 31% | 54% |
| Wenzel Apr 12th | 38% | 51% |
| Quinnipiac May 18th | 36% | 54% |
| PPP May 25th | 35% | 55% |
| Quinnipiac Jul 20th | 32% | 56% |
None of this means the effort to repeal SB5 should let up. Things could change quickly if supporters of repeal become complacent.
