Poll: Tea Party Governor’s (PA) Re-Election Hopes Are On Life Support

[pampango]

Things are going from bad to worse for one of the Republican Party’s least popular leaders.

According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, released Wednesday, Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett’s approval rating has sunk near his all-time low. Just 36 percent of Pennsylvania voters now approve of his job performance, while 56 percent disapprove.

Corbett gets negative reviews on a multitude of key issues, including jobs and the economy (voters disapprove of his handling of the issue 31 to 58 percent), taxes (32 to 56 percent), health care (29 to 51 percent), and education (30 to 61 percent).

In other words, the Tea Party-backed platform that helped propel Corbett into office in 2010 was more popular in theory than it is in practice. It seems that Pennsylvania voters are tiring of the governor’s failure to create jobs, insistence on pushing school voucher programs, refusal to accept the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion, and unmatched ability to put his foot in his mouth.
