*June 26, 2013 - Obama Hits Lowest Point Ever In Ohio, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Clinton-Christie Dead Even In Critical Swing State* PDF format <http://www.quinnipiac.edu/images/polling/oh/oh06262013.pdf>
President Barack Obama's job approval in Ohio is a negative 40 - 57 percent, his lowest grade ever in the state and nearly matching a 39 - 57 percent low in Florida in September, 2011, his lowest grade ever in any of the nine states surveyed by Quinnipiac University, according to a poll released today. Ohio independent voters continue to move away from President Obama and now give him a 30-point negative rating, 34 - 64 percent. If the 2016 presidential election were today, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie are deadlocked 42 - 42 percent in the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University survey of this critical swing state. Ms. Clinton gets 47 percent to Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's 44 percent. Both potential GOP candidates top Vice President Joseph Biden, Christie by 50 - 32 percent and Paul by 49 - 40 percent. "Ohio was the key state in both of President Barack Obama's elections and it was his strong showing among independent voters there that made the difference," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "President Obama's fortunes in the Buckeye State have turned. Since last December he has lost 10 points among Democrats and 17 points among independent voters. He has gone from a 20-point approval margin among women to a 9-point disapproval margin among female voters." -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
