For those of you not on Twitter, where this link has been making the rounds, some interesting polling on the Dreihaus-Chabot re-match:
A new SurveyUSA poll sponsored by Firedoglake shows incumbent Democrat Steve Driehaus substantially behind former Republican Congressman Steve Chabot in Ohio’s 1st congressional district. If the election were held today, Chabot would beat Driehaus in a head-to-head match up, 56% to 39%.
The 2010 election will be a rematch of the last cycle. In 2008, Driehaus managed to unseat Chabot, who had represented the 1st district for over a decade, by 52.5% to 47.5%. Given Chabot’s long political history in the district it should be safe to assume that both candidates have high name recognition. The race is currently rated a toss up by the Cook Political Report.
And can you say “ha-ha”?
Do you approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as President?
Approve 42%
Disapprove 55%
Not Sure 3%
My, my how things can change in so short a period of time …
Of course, there is a long way to go until election day but you can’t tell me Democrats can’t feel the ground moving underneath them.
