The latest Quinnipiac poll out of Ohio shows that Republican Gov. John Kasich's Senate Bill 5 -- an assault on the collective bargaining rights of government employees -- is likely to be repealed, with 57 percent of voters opposing the bill and only 32 percent supporting it.

The campaign to save Senate Bill 5 is taking on water, with a new poll showing voters favor a repeal of the collective bargaining crackdown on Ohio’s public workers by a 57-to-32 percent margin.

The findings in the Quinnipiac University poll also show Gov. John Kasich’s popularity is in the same neighborhood as the S.B. 5 measure he has been campaigning to save. The survey of 1,668 registered voters found them disapproving of the governor’s job performance by 52-36 percent, up from a 49-40 percent negative rating in late September.

Voters will determine the fate of S.B. 5 on Nov. 8 when they vote on State Issue 2.

Issue 2 has created a contentious battle across the state. The issue would keep S.B. 5, which restricts the collective bargaining rights of public employees.

The Quinnipiac findings come a week after a survey by Public Policy Polling predicted S.B. 5 will be repealed by a 56-36 percent margin.

Support to kill the law is mounting if the Quinnipiac poll results reported Tuesday are accurate. The current 25-point margin favoring repeal is up from a 13-point margin – 51-38 percent – back in September.
