Corbett's job approval rating down but even, poll says

Voters in Pennsylvania are split evenly on the job Gov. Tom Corbett is doing, but his approval rating is down significantly since early December, a poll released this morning shows.

The Quinnipiac University poll, which surveyed 1,256 registered voters from March 7 through Monday in the state, showed voters give the governor a 41-41 percent approval rating. It is a significant drop from a 47-34 percent approval rating Dec. 8.

This is Mr. Corbett's lowest approval rating since a 39-38 percent score in a June 14, 2011, poll.

Women showed a marginal disapproval of the governor's job by 39-38 percent, down from a 44-36 percent approval in December. Men approve 45-42 percent, down from 51-32 percent in December.

with all of us facing increased local taxes and county taxes, along with so many cuts in important services, I am amazed.
