New Reform Ohio Now Polling Numbers

There were some new numbers released today by the Ray C. Bliss Institute at Akron University. The Columbus Dispatch is set to release numbers next week as well (along with OH-Sen numbers).

Ray C. Bliss Institute (pdf).  1076 Ohio Residents. MoE +/- 3% - Likely Voters.

State Issue One (Third Frontier)
Favor: 61.8%
Oppose: 38.2%

State Issue Two (Absentee Balloting)
Favor: 63.8%
Oppose: 36.2%

State Issue Three (Campaign Contributions)
Favor: 61.2%
Oppose: 38.8%

State Issue Four (Nonpartisan Redistricting)
Favor: 43.5%
Oppose: 56.5%

State Issue Five (Role of Secretary of State)
Favor: 42.5%
Oppose: 57.5%

The good news on State Issue Four specifically is that citizens who have "reported hearing or reading about the measure and have an opinion favor it by a 56-44 margin. When you consider that this survey was conducted over a one month time frame (ending on October 20), I think it actually bodes very well. The past week has seen newspaper after newpaper, telvision ads, and a massive ground campaign in Ohio to educate voters about the four RON amendments.

I was in Ohio last week and saw a lot of the ads against these measures -- they are running a huge amount of TV in southern Ohio. Those were good ads. I do hope our side has the resources to compete.
