PA Voters Favor Democrats Over Corbett for Governor in 2014

"The Quinnipiac University poll released early this morning shows Rep. Schwartz with a 45-35 percent lead over Mr. Corbett in a potential matchup for Pennsylvania governor."

"Another possible pairing shows Democratic state Treasurer Rob McCord topping Mr. Corbett, 43-35 percent. Rep. Schwartz leads the Democratic primary field with 18 percent, while no other contender tops 5 percent. But 63 percent remain undecided with such a long time before the election."

"Rep. Schwartz is the U.S. representative for Pennsylvania's 13th congressional district that includes parts of Montgomery County and northeast Philadelphia. The poll shows she leads Mr. Corbett, 51-28 percent among women. Men are divided, with 42 percent for Mr. Corbett and 39 percent for Rep. Schwartz. She leads among Democrats, 86-5 percent, and among independent voters, 36-29 percent. Republicans favor Mr. Corbett, 75-7 percent. Rep. Schwartz leads in most areas of the state, while Corbett leads in central Pennsylvania, the poll shows."
