DAYTON, Ohio (October 11, 2008)—With 25 days remaining until Election Day, the economic crisis is on the minds of many Ohioans and the presidential race is in a dead heat in Ohio—McCain with 48 percent to Obama’s 46 percent, according to the second of three in-depth Ohio Newspaper Polls during this election season.
Comparing the first Ohio Newspaper Poll released in mid-September to these latest figures, the new statistics illustrate how Obama is closing the gap between himself and McCain. However, 16 percent of Ohioans still remain undecided or say they “might change” their minds before Election Day, November 4. The sampling error for this poll is plus or minus 3 percent.
In light of the recent economic crisis, the majority of Ohioans, 56 percent, said they oppose the $700 billion bailout plan. And when asked which presidential candidate will do the best job of improving our economy, 47 percent favored Obama compare to 44 percent for McCain.
Ohio likely voters were also asked how government could best stimulate the American economy. These Ohio voters said:
31 percent for lowering taxes for middle class working families
17 percent for cutting taxes for businesses
15 percent for pulling troops out of Iraq
10 percent for raising taxes on upper income families
