A new poll released by Quinnipiac continues to show massive support for the repeal of SB5, indeed the margin of dissatisfaction with this middle-class busting law is growing and now stands at 56% - 32%.
Tracking our recent anaylsis showing that SB5 could turn Governor Kasich into a lame duck, the same poll shows his unpopularity rising to 50%
"Kasich has until 2014 when he presumably will face the voters, to turn his political fortunes around, but the timeline for the vote on SB5, which is obviously a referendum on the governor's agenda, is much shorter," said Brown. "A loss on SB5 would be a no confidence vote on the governor from the voters of Ohio."
Below are the polling trends for SB5.
| Poll | For SB5 | Against SB5 |
|---|---|---|
| PPP Mar 15th | 31% | 54% |
| Wenzel Apr 12th | 38% | 51% |
| Quinnipiac May 18th | 36% | 54% |
| PPP May 25th | 35% | 55% |
| Quinnipiac Jul 20th | 32% | 56% |
None of this means the effort to repeal SB5 should let up. Things could change quickly if supporters of repeal become complacent.
