Poll Positions: As Allentown Morning Call reporter John Micek summarized Wednesday, “There’s a spot of good news for Gov. Corbett in the latest Morning Call/Muhlenberg College Poll.  Pennsylvania voters don’t like the Republican any more than they did a month ago-- but on the upside, they don’t like him any less.”
The poll found 30 percent of likely voters surveyed said they approved of Corbett’s job performance and 46 percent said they didn’t.
In the same poll, President Obama’s popularity went up from 43 percent last month to 47 percent this month.  But then again so did Mitt Romney’s-- 40 percent this month versus 37 percent last month.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey’s popularity remained at 37 percent.  His Republican opponent’s favorable rating was 20 percent versus 18 percent last month.
