Corbett Ahead in Pennsylvania
A new Public Policy Polling survey in Pennsylvania finds Tom Corbett (R) leading Dan Onorato (D) in the race for governor, 45% to 35%.
“One thing that can’t be doing Onorato’s prospects any favors is the high level of unpopularity of outgoing Governor Ed Rendell. He has just a 35% approval rating with 53% of voters disapproving of him. It’s no surprise that voters are reluctant to elect another Democratic Governor when they feel so negatively toward the one already in office.”
Confidence Waning in Obama
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds Americans “are more pessimistic about the state of the country and less confident in President Obama’s leadership than at any point since Mr. Obama entered the White House.”
Key finding: “62% feel the country is on the wrong track, the highest level since before the 2008 election. Just one-third think the economy will get better over the next year, a 7-point drop from a month ago and the low point of Mr. Obama’s tenure.”
