Quote:

Just eight percent (8%) of Ohio voters rate the U.S. economy as good or excellent while 54% say it's poor. Only three percent (3%) say it’s getting better while 54% say it’s heading in the opposite direction.

Thirty-five percent (35%) say the housing market will get better within a year, including four percent (4%) who say it’s already getting better. However, 37% say there’s no end in sight to the housing crunch.

As the economy continues to struggle, Ohio voters say creating economic growth is more important than reducing the income gap between rich and poor. This is similar to the national average. Sixty-eight percent (68%) believe that McCain is more interested in creating growth while 64% believe Obama is more interested in reducing the gap between rich and poor.

McCain is supported by 88% of Republicans and has a modest advantage among unaffiliated voters. Obama wins the vote from 90% of Democrats. Obama leads among those who make less than $40,000 a year while McCain leads among those who earn more.
