Poll: Kasich still lacks recognition as GOP prez contender

COLUMBUS — Gov. John Kasich still isn’t registering with voters nationally, according to a new survey released today by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

Among potential Republican presidential contenders, Kasich received nods from 2 percent of 1,353 registered voters nationally who were questioned over the past week.

That’s about the same response Kasich has received over seven polls by the Connecticut-based institute since December 2013.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio topped the latest Quinnipiac poll, with 15 percent, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 13 percent and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at 11 percent.

No other Republican candidate had double-digit support.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton remains the top choice among Democratic candidates, with 60 percent of those questioned supporting her.
