Pennsylvanians worried about their wallets are giving President Bush cause to worry about their votes.

A statewide Keystone Poll released today showed Pennsylvanians increasingly nervous about the economy are boosting the hopes of Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry.

If the election were held tomorrow, 47 percent said they'd vote for Kerry, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, and 46 percent for Bush. The remaining 8 percent said they were undecided. The numbers total 101 percent because of rounding.

Madonna said the president's flagging popularity -- his favorable ratings declined from 63 percent in April to 46 percent this month -- could be a reflection of uneasiness over the economy, which 35 percent of those polled identified as their primary concern.

U.S. Rep. Pat Toomey, a Lehigh County Republican, lost ground to the four-term senator, compared to a Keystone Poll conducted in November when 18 percent of those questioned said they favored Toomey versus 49 percent for Specter. The new poll shows Specter leading Toomey 55 percent to 17 percent.
