As much time as the Republican heir apparent spends in tanning parlors, on the golf course and doing the night club circuit, far too many Ohioans don\u2019t know him.  Those who do don\u2019t like him.  Agent Orange was a bust in the latest poll.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"BonerOrange\"<\/a> It’s looking more and more likely that John Boehner will become Speaker of the House but he’s pretty unknown in Ohio<\/strong> and the folks who do have an opinion about him lean negative.<\/p>\n

42% of Ohio voters say they don’t know enough about Boehner to rate him one way or the other<\/strong>. Among those who do 27% see him positively and 31% have an unfavorable view<\/strong>. Democrats (53%) dislike him more than Republicans (51%) like him and independents go against him by a 22\/27 margin as well.<\/p>\n

Only 28% of voters in the state want Boehner to become Speaker of the House<\/font><\/strong> if Republicans get the majority this fall while 44% explicitly say they want someone else<\/strong> and 28% are unsure. Republicans do by a 54\/15 margin want Boehner to ascend to the top spot but Democrats (73\/6) and independents (41\/22) are not swayed by home state pride and think the GOP should pick someone else if they get in control\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
