Wait, what? Oh Dem Gov candidate getting less well-known during campaign

Ed FitzGerald, the Democrat running against Gov. John Kasich, is somehow less well known today than he was a few months ago.

A Quinnipiac University Poll out Wednesday shows 65 percent of registered Ohio voters didn't know enough about FitzGerald - who announced his campaign in April 2013 - to form an opinion. (The numbers are within the polls' margins of error.)

Enquirer profile: Who is Ed FitzGerald?

That's actually up from a similar poll in May, when 63 percent said they didn't know enough about him. And it comes despite the fact that FitzGerald has stepped up his campaigning and aired his first ad.

The poll also shows FitzGerald has gained little ground against Kasich. It found Kasich ahead of FitzGerald 48 percent to 36 percent.

The same poll in May had Kasich leading by a 50-to-35 percent margin.

Fifty-five percent of Ohioans questioned approve of the job Kasich is doing. He was elected governor in 2010.

The survey of 1,366 Ohio voters has a margin-of-error of just under 3 percentage points.

The election is Nov. 4.
