Hillary Clinton would win the swing states of Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio if the presidential election were held today, a new Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll reveals, and she would unilaterally beat each and every notable potential Republican candidate up against her, the poll also shows.

But if Ohio Gov John Kasich were to run and win the Republican nomination for president, the former first lady, and former U.S. senator, who lost the 2008 Democratic primary to now President Barack Obama and went on to serve as secretary of state during the president's first term, could be in for a dead heat to win Ohio in her fight for the White House.

The survey sampled 936 Florida voters, 943 Ohio voters, and 881 Pennsylvania voters.

Released on Tuesday, the poll results reveal that in Ohio Kasich would get 43 percent of the vote compared to Clinton's 44 percent. Also, Clinton would easily win Ohio over any other Republican opponent, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie 47 to 34 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush 47 to 36 percent, former congressman Ron Paul 49 to 34 percent, and social conservative Mike Huckabee 49 to 34 percent.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who lost the presidential election to Obama in 2012 and announced that he is not interested this time around, would lose to Clinton too, the poll says. 

The poll was conducted from January 22 to February 1 of would-be voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percent.

Kasich, however, is a relatively unknown nationally, the poll reflects, though he is a former U.S. representative. He is enjoying popularity in Ohio after trouncing then Democratic candidate Ed FitzGerald in last year's gubernatorial election to win a second four-year-term. 


Politico reported Monday of last week that Clinton, who won Ohio over Obama for the 2008 Democratic primary 53 percent to 45, percent has already approved a budget and moved ahead with campaign hires. She will officially announce her run for president in April, the report says.

If Clinton were to run for president in 2016, and subsequently win, she would become America's first female president.(www.clevelandurbannews.com) / (www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
