Ohio Picks Hillary Over McCain in 2008
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most popular United States presidential contender in Ohio, according to a poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. 48 per cent of respondents in the Buckeye State would vote for the New York senator in this year’s election, while 38 per cent would support Republican Arizona senator John McCain.
In a separate contest, McCain is virtually tied with Illinois senator Barack Obama.
In 2004, Republican George W. Bush carried Ohio’s 20 electoral votes, with 51 per cent of the vote. The Buckeye State has supported the eventual president in every U.S. election since 1964.
Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 4.
