Ohio Poll

Quinnipiac University has wasted no time polling. Here is the first Ohio poll that I have seen:

Clinton 38
Obama 13
Edwards 11
Al Gore 6

From Quinnipiac:

Sen. Clinton has by far the largest bloc of voters who don't like her, with a 49 - 38 percent favorability. By comparison, Obama's favorability is 35 - 12 percent, but 52 percent say they don't know enough to form an opinion. Edwards gets a 46 - 24 percent favorability.

This pretty much follows the trend I've been seeing everywhere else. Hillary is hovering right around 40, but she has high unfavorables. Obama is still in second even with extrmely poor name ID, and Edwards is still very much in the coversation.
However, the Al Gore numbers surprise me. I suppose that the polling firm is asking about him. How else could he get that number? This is just further evidence that if Gore does decide to get in then it will totally reshape the race.

I know Ohio is not important in the primaries but I suspect it will be important in the general again. Quinnipiac polled possible general pairings. Clinton beats all the republicans: McCain, Guiliani, and Romney. Edwards beats McCain. Obama loses to McCain. Go to the site for the numbers.
