Poll: Governor widens his lead over challenger

COLUMBUS

Republican Gov. John Kasich has widened his lead over Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald, though a majority of voters still don’t know enough about the latter to have an opinion of him.

Among 1,174 registered Ohio voters questioned over the past week by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, 50 percent sided with the incumbent governor, versus 35 percent who supported the Cuyahoga County Executive.

Kasich held a 43 percent-38 percent advantage over FitzGerald in Quinnipiac’s February survey.
