DescriptionIn the battle of the Steves, two may enter, but only one may leave.
SurveyUSA for Firedoglake (1/12-14, likely voters):

Steve Driehaus (D-inc): 39
Steve Chabot (R): 56
Undecided: 5
(MoE: ±4.1%)

I don't think you need me to tell you that this is "rough". Ohio's 1st District has been a tough nut to crack for Democrats, usually leaning ever so slightly to the GOP. Al Gore lost the district by 46-51 in 2000, and John Kerry came up two points short four years later. Obama finally busted the dam open, winning the CD by a remarkable 55-44 spread. Now, if this poll is to be believed (and I can believe it), Obama has a 42-55 approval rating among likely voters in the district.
