Barack Obama beat John McCain in Pennsylvania by 11 points (55% to 44%) in 2008. A new poll by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling shows Obama's approval rating in the Keystone state at 46%, with 50% of voters disapproving. Only 42% of voters say they support "President Obama's health care plan," and 49% oppose it. Republican Senate candidate Pat Toomey leads Democrat Arlen Specter 46% to 43%.
In a world that made any sense Snarlin' Arlen wouldn't even be making the needle move on the approval gauge. |
