Update: The eyes of Ohio are mainly focused on the battles between Obama/Romney and Brown/Mandel, but John Kasich is still around doing things, and his latest numbers show a bit of improvement. (Washington Post)

When John Kasich glanced at his approval ratings in the past year, he probably felt like the pollsters were plopping down a poop sandwich in his lap.

NBC’s craptastic sitcom Whitney seemed to have a better backing.

This morning’s latest batch of numbers finally show some positive direction for Kasich, however. Still a poop sandwich, but a little less poopy.

Via the Dayton Daily News:

The Ohio Poll from the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati found 44 percent of Ohio adults approve of Kasich’s performance as governor, 42 percent disapprove and 14 percent neither approve nor disapprove. In March 2011, The Ohio Poll showed 40 percent approved, 47 percent disapproved and 13 percent didn’t feel strongly either way.

Friday’s results are the first time a larger percentage approved of Kasich’s performance than disapproved in surveys by The Ohio Poll since he took office January 2011.

  1. Sell the turnpike to Wall Street buddies and have them jack up the rates on Northern Ohioans including industry to pay for Columbus- and Cincinnati-area highways where there are no toll roads. That’ll flush Kasich’s numbers again.

  2. Get the PD and the Dispatch and the Enquirer to censor all negative things pertaining to the governor and demonize the Democrats as all being in cahoots with jimmy and Frank and MGK.

  3. Or get the underwear business in Columbus and the OSU big donators and the Dispatch and the owners of the Dispatch and the political pull which the combined powers of the underwear bussiness and the media control which the guy whos family has owned the central Ohio media monster for one hundred plus years to give a hundred million more to the republican party and their puppets in our state government + censor anything which may make the president of the USA look good.
