OH-Gov: DeWine In

1: Unsurprising.
2: Taylor will definitely go for it, she's Kasich's preferred successor.
3: Kasich didn't beat Fitz by ignoring him. Fitz imploded under the weight of his own idiocy.

Agreed. Taylor will do a lot better than the poll showing DeWine leading her by forty, though. If not her, then Tiberi will run.

FitzGerald suffered from a number of combined factors. However, Kasich winning Cuyahoga by seven against its County Executive makes me wonder if maybe he would have won it against even someone like Tim Ryan or Richard Cordray.

Tiberi seems more interested in the Senate race. The GOP primary will be interesting. It could be a three way battle. I can see Husted as a strong Lt. Gov candidate if he accepts it. The Senate primary may end up being Mandel vs Tiberi. Auditor Dave Yost is likely to go for Attorney General. Any other Ohio Republicans looking to run statewide in 2018?

That's it. I was thinking of another one(maybe PPP?).

That's the one. Their samples are generally D+1 or so, and their managers are Democrats. But despite being labeled as a partisan organization by some, when they do their own polls (not ones sponsored by left-won't organizations, but their own), they still seem pretty good and accurate. I still trust them, and frequently give them suggestions. I like how they listen to their readers when suggesting poll questions.
