In Ohio, Democrat Hillary Clinton statistically ties Gov. John Kasich as the preferred candidate for president, according to a poll released today by Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

But that is seen as an early home state advantage in a poll that has her easily trouncing the active Republican candidates.

Mrs. Clinton got 44 percent to Mr. Kasichs 43 percent of likely Ohio voters.

The former U.S. Secretary of State, former U.S. Senator, and former First Lady is in an identical statistical tie with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in Florida.

Mr. Kasich has not announced interest in running for president.

In Ohio, Ms. Clinton leads Mr. Bush, who has launched a campaign for the presidency, by 47 percent to 36 in the same poll.

Quinnipiac polled three notable swing states, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, for trends in the 2016 presidential election.

Peter Brown, associate director of the Connecticut-based poll, noted that Ms. Clinton holds double-digit leads over all her potential GOP opponents in the three biggest swing states, except for Mr. Bush in Florida and Mr. Kasich in Ohio.
