Poll: 51 Percent Of Voters Say Corbett Doesn’t Deserve Second Term

A new Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday says 51 percent of those surveyed do not believe Gov. Corbett deserves a second term-- 54 percent of women and 48 percent of men.
“It’s halftime in Gov. Tom Corbett’s first term and if he were running a football team instead of a state, he’d fire his offensive coordinator,” said Tim Malloy, Assistant Polling Director. “Gov. Corbett has hit the 50 percent approval rating only once so far, mainly because of his bad grades from women.”
45 percent of those polled said they a very or somewhat satisfied with the direction Pennsylvania is heading in today.
On the state’s two U.S. Senators, 44 percent approved of the job Bob Casey is doing and 43 percent approved of Pat Toomey’s job performance.
