Poll shows Senate Bill 5 will be repealed

Senate Bill 5 would easily be repealed by Ohio voters if the referendum were held now, a new poll today shows.

The measure to strip many collective bargaining rights from state and local government workers would be rejected by 18 points, 54 percent to 36 percent, says the Quinnipiac Poll.

“Although it is a long way until November when opponents of SB 5 hope to ask voters to overturn it, at this point there is strong support for repealing Gov. (John) Kasich’s signature plan,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, in a release.

Independent voters, crucial to the success of any statewide candidate or issue, oppose the controversial measure by 19 points. The measure is losing by a large margin in every region of Ohio except the west central area. Central Ohio voters turn thumbs down by a whopping 26 points.

1. Kasich continues with his foot in mouth, hissy fit horrible policies. If SB5 were the

only issue, I might be worried about it not being defeated, but it is only one of many.
