I don't get it if democrats outnumber republicans by 2 to 1 (37% TO 19%) how is it that Ohio is and has been a republican state for many, many years? Although it's always fairly close.
The poll is 43% Democrat, 37% Republican, and 19% Independent.
Governor Taft and the legislature have done a ton of damage. It's a battleground state, so shifts in mood about a party can be very big and sweep out a lot of officeholders.
