COLUMBUS, Ohio - Two new ways to measure the quality of life in Ohio are touched by politics.
The quarterly Ohio Cultural Index, a poll by Ohio Right to Life, seeks to gauge public opinion on abortion and morality, as well as issues unrelated to its mission, such as public schools.
Another effort rolled out this summer, and now being promoted in statewide stops by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, is called "Better Lives, Better Ohio." Through this effort, Brunner's office has compiled an array of county-by-county data onto a single Web link accessible through her state Web site.
Right to Life's poll appears to benefit traditional Republican constituencies while Brunner's initiative seems geared toward traditional Democratic constituencies.
