Downballot races mostly out of mind for voters
By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com ReporterA plurality of voters are undecided about who should be their next attorney general.
The Columbus Dispatch's poll shows 42 percent of likely voters are undecided about the race, while 34 percent support state Treasurer Richard Cordray (D-Pleasant Twp.), 24 percent support former U.S. Attorney Mike Crites (R-Powell) and 1 percent support attorney Robert Owens (I-Delaware).
Sixty-four percent are undecided about the race for Ohio Supreme Court for incumbent Maureen O'Connor's seat. Slightly fewer are undecided in the race between challenger Peter Sikora and incumbent Evelyn Statton (Straton leads by 4 points).
The sick day initiative has 60 percent support among voters.
Fewer voters support a casino between Columbus and Cincinnati along I-71, with 53 percent favorable to the idea.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article mistated Cordray's percentage, which was 37 percent, not 34 percent. The article also mismatched the appellations of "challenger" and incumbent for the latter Supreme Court race.
