Neil Newhouse of Public Opinion Strategies is one of the most well-respected pollsters out there. If he’s your pollster, you’ve hired one of the best.
And a new poll from Public Opinion Strategies shows Mike DeWine absolutely smoking Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray.
They sampled 600 likely voters. The party ID breakdown was 37-30 in favor of the Dems, or about what it was in the 2008 election. And voters were asked straight up who they prefer, Cordray or DeWine.
The results?
DeWine is up 46-38 on Cordray.
Among Independents, DeWine is up 46-27.
Cordray is only winning 68% of the Democrats.
DeWine is winning 88% of the Republicans, once again disproving theories of some type of right wing rebellion against DeWine.
Cordray has a massive hill to climb.
