If a new poll on the Ohio governor's race is accurate, there's not much of a race left.
The poll has Democratic Congressman Ted Strickland leading Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell by 27 points.
Released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, the poll shows Strickland leading Blackwell 59 percent to 32 percent, with less than three weeks to go before Election Day. The poll -- which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percent -- shows that 9 percent of voters are undecided and 13 percent say they might change their minds before Nov. 7.
A September Quinnipiac poll showed Strickland at 55 percent and Blackwell at 34 percent.
