"New Poll Reveals Ohio Voters' Opposition to Issue 1"

A Suffolk University/USA Today poll indicates that over 57% of Ohio voters oppose Issue 1, a proposal to raise the threshold for passing citizen-initiated constitutional amendments from a simple majority to 60% of the vote. The opposition was evident across all demographics and party lines, with Democrats most strongly against the measure. However, supporters of Issue 1 argue that a 500-person telephone poll is not representative of Ohio voters and believe that their base will turn out in large numbers.
