Poll: Kasich leading but FitzGerald gaining ground

Democrat Ed FitzGerald is gaining ground on Republican Gov. John Kasich among voters questioned recently by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Kasich’s still ahead, with 44 percent of 1,361respondents supporting his reelection, versus 37 percent who sided with the Cuyahoga County executive.

That compares to a 47 percent-33 percent Kasich lead in Quinnipiac’s June poll.

And 71 percent of voters said they don’t know enough about FitzGerald to form an opinion.
