Another poll had the governor’s approval rating at 55 percent back in June.It comes just as the governor struggles to manage a tight state budget.In the Dayton region, Strickland’s approval rating was even lower at 46 percent. Strickland has ordered multi-million dollar cuts in state spending in an effort to keep the budget balanced.Among the unpopular changes ordered by the governor was the closure of the Twin Valley Behavioral Health Center in Dayton, a mental health facility.Jim.otte@whiotv.com
