Poll: Ohioans like Obama more than his policies

COLUMBUS — Ohioans generally approve of President Barack Obama’s work in office, but they’re split on a federal overhaul of health care.

That’s according to the latest poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, released Wednesday.

Of the 1,074 Ohio voters it questioned over the past week, 53 percent gave Obama positive approval ratings, compared to 42 percent who did not.

That’s up from 49 percent — 44 percent during the institute’s July poll.
