Description A poll out Monday showing Gov. Bob Taft's popularity nose-diving to depths not seen among Ohio leaders in 20 years will reverberate in Columbus and in Washington.

According to The Ohio Poll, only 40 percent of Ohioans approve of Taft's performance, an extraordinary plunge for a governor who won the November re-election in a landslide.

It's the worst approval rating for a governor since Richard Celeste's 36 percent in 1983, and the highest disapproval rating -- 48 percent -- since the poll began in 1983.

A Democrat with a message of fiscal discipline could win Ohio, especially if the economy fails to improve, said state Rep. Tom Brinkman Jr., a conservative Republican from Cincinnati.
