Three Polls

Information on three polls crossed my screen the past few days.

from PADems:

In case you missed it, today Quinnipiac University released a new poll of Pennsylvania voters that placed President Obama six points up over Mitt Romney in the Commonwealth. Only 35 percent of Pennsylvanians viewed Romney favorably, while 42 percent of Pennsylvanians have an unfavorable view of Romney. Mitt Romney's top Pennsylvania endorser, Tom Corbett, fares even worse. Only 36 percent of Pennsylvanians approve of Tom Corbett's job performance while 47 percent disapprove, making Tom Corbett one of America's least popular governors. With numbers like that, it's no wonder that even Mitt Romney doesn't think he can win here: http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/gop-state-chair-romney-doesnt-think-he-can 

PoliticsPA has dueling polling memos in the 6th Congressional district.  Incumbent Rep. Gerlach's poll shows he has good name recognition.  Challenger Dr. Manan Trivedi's polling memo shows that if people are read a biographical statement about him they like him.  Redistricting has changed the constituency of the 6th and that could affect the election outcome.  Read more.

The 7th congressional district has changed shape dramatically.  Democrat George Badey is challenging incumbent Rep. Pat Meehan.  As might be expected, Meehan has a significant lead among potential voters.  But when they are told some of his positions, especially those on Medicare and women's health issues.  Read more and see the polling memo on PoliticsPA.
