(Columbus, OH) The job approval numbers for embattled Ohio Governor Bob Taft continue to sink, according to a recent Zogby poll.

Only 3% of Ohioans believe Taft to be doing a "good" or "excellent" job.

"Fully 88% of Ohioans agree with the statement that 'Bob Taft sucks worse than anyone has ever sucked in the history of sucking,'" said John Zogby. "Clearly there is a shift by voters toward a consensus that this governor does, indeed, suck."

The poll, which has amargin of error of +/- 3.8 percentage points, surveyed 698 likely Ohio voters online and adjusted the results to more closely mirror state voting demographics. Zogby said that a margin of error was not even necessary in Taft's case.

"Look - the guy pretty much just sucks," he said. "When a governor sucks this bad, a margin of error will not cover up the overall suckiness of the results."

A state official took issue with the results of the poll.

"Governor Taft does not suck," said Mark Rickel, the governor's spokesman. "He is doing his unsuckiest best to keep the economic recovery moving full steam ahead, so that all Ohioans can achieve a suck-free prosperity."

Marc Dann, a state senator from Liberty, OH, said that the poll results agree with what constituents tell him.

"I have stacks of letters and emails, and they all say the same thing: Bob Taft sucks," he said. "It is time to sweep out the culture of suckery that has sucked the vitality out of this state. Oh, and vote for me for AG - I don't suck."
