Kasich believes he can challenge President Trump in the 2020 primary. Perhaps not! New poll shows Trump destroys Kasich in his home state 62% to 27%

Speaking of career parasites, where has John Kasich been?

He’s been gearing up for a potential primary run against President Trump in 2020.

Kasich might want to slow down a bit and check out his popularity compared to President Trump’s in his own home state of Ohio first. Not good news for Kasich!

Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s planned April visit to New Hampshire hints at a possible 2020 Republican presidential primary challenge to President Trump.

But Trump would have no problem defeating Kasich in his home state, according to a new poll released this week by Baldwin Wallace University’s Community Research Institute, via cincinatti.com.

If the Republican presidential primary were held today, 62 percent of the Republicans polled would vote for Trump. Only 27 percent would vote for Kasich.

Keep in mind that these figures come from Ohio voters and Ohio is Kasich home state, where he loses to President Trump by 35 percentage points. And Kasich honestly believes he has a fighting chance nationwide? Really?

The Berea, Ohio university polled 1,011 voters Feb. 28 to March 9. Only the 261 respondents who identified as Republicans were asked about whether they’d vote for Trump or Kasich.

The poll has a margin of error of three percentage points on the general questions and six percentage points on the Republican-only questions.

The poll shows that Kasich did gain some ground. Of the 261 Republicans interviewed by the university’s researchers, only 18 percent said they had voted for Kasich in the 2016 election.

New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary draws presidential hopefuls early as they test the waters.

Kasich will hold a “fireside chat” at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire on April 3. It will not be the first time Kasich has visited New Hampshire since Trump’s election.

He visited in April 2017.

Kasich is going to need a lot more than a “fireside chat” to pull this miracle off.

The Baldwin Wallace poll also showed U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown with a comfortable lead over Republican Rep. Jim Renacci in the Senate race. Among the 1,011 people polled, 41 percent would vote for Brown while 29 percent would vote for Renacci.

A Baldwin Wallace poll of the presidential race in Oct. 2016, however, didn’t predict the results. It showed Clinton ahead of Trump by nine percentage points in Ohio. Trump won the state by eight percentage points.
