Most likely House Speaker John Boehner is going to be re-elected but Ohioans are becoming less enamored with the politician. According to Public Policy Polling, “Only 20% of voters in the state approve of the job he’s doing to 59% who disapprove, and even with GOP voters he’s at just 37/34.”
Base | Woman | Man | |
Approve | 20% | 17% | 23% |
Disapprove | 59% | 58% | 60% |
Not sure | 21% | 25% | 17% |
The question was worded: “Do you approve or disapprove of the job House Speaker John Boehner is doing?”
None of this really matters because the re-election is up to his district and on a local level he is doing fine.
The 30 question poll used automated phone interviews to survey 551 voters between August 16 and August 19.
