State split on whether Obama deserves a second term

COLUMBUS — A new poll shows President Barack Obama’s approval rating in Ohio is little changed following the killing of Osama bin Laden.

The Quinnipiac University survey released today shows that 49 percent of Ohio voters like the job the president is doing, while 45 percent disapprove. Obama’s approval was 47 percent in a similar poll two months ago.

Quinnipiac’s Peter Brown said in a statement that Ohio has answered the question of whether there’s a “bin Laden bounce” for the president. He says the White House can’t be happy with the answer.

The state’s voters split 47 percent to 47 percent on whether Obama deserves a second term.

Pollsters surveyed 1,379 registered voters by phone from May 10 through Monday. The poll has a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points.
