Kasich Poll Numbers Are Struggling

I'm not one to put much stock in polls, but I think this is interesting:

In Ohio, Governor John Kasich is struggling as well, after narrowly defeating Democrat incumbent Ted Strickland last fall. A new Quinnipiac poll released on Wednesday found Kasich's approval numbers decidedly upside down, with 49 percent of voters disapproving and 38 percent approving of his efforts in office to date. This was a nominal improvement over the previous month, when he had a 46-30 split. But the persistent gender gap facing Kasich is stark—women disapprove of Kasich's job in office by a margin of 51 to 33 percent.

Maybe barely winning an off-year election when the opposing party couldn't turn out its base, then acting as if you won a landslide isn't a good idea.  Maybe putting in place radical policy changes when you barely won an election isn't a good idea.  Maybe being an obnoxious blowhard isn't a good idea.  I guess we will see what happens.  But when a guy puts in a tax cut when there is an $8 billion dollar deficit, then says he might push for more tax cuts the next year, when the massive cuts or local tax increases required haven't even hit yet,  he probably deserves bad poll numbers.
