John Kasich Sees High Home State Approval Rating In New Poll

Republican presidential hopeful John Kasich remains very popular in his home state, which could prove critical in the 2016 race.

FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern has more from Washington:

The Ohio Governor has a 61% approval rating in his home state, the latest Quinnipiac University poll of swing states shows.

John Kasich is now matching his all time high. 84% of Republicans approve of his job performance and even Democrats in Ohio are split… 46-44.

But the state’s Senate race is in too-close-to-call territory, Republican Senator Rob Portman and Democratic challenger and former Governor Ted Strickland each winning around 45% approval.
