GOP faces uphill battle to regain Ohio hold
Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, analyzes Ohio's political climate ahead of the 2008 election. He notes Ohio's 20 electoral votes could flip the White House to Democrats if trends continue, driven by weak GOP support, a wary economy, and low approval for then-Gov Taft and President Bush. He compares Ohio to Florida and Pennsylvania, where Republican leads vary, and cautions the GOP to recalibrate to avoid losing Ohio’s pivotal role.
