Poll finds Kasich gaining ground on Trump in Pa.

[modrepub]

Ohio Gov. John Kasich is swiftly closing in on Donald Trump in the April 26 Pennsylvania primary election for the Republican presidential nomination, a new poll shows.


The Franklin and Marshall College Poll being released Thursday shows Kasich with 30 percent of the support among likely Republican voters while Trump is at 33 percent and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is at 20 percent.

Kasich is a Pennsylvania native, raised in McKees Rocks, near Pittsburgh.

Trump, a New Yorker, often speaks of attending the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.

It found the Democratic primary for president is less competitive than the GOP.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton holds a comfortable lead, 53 percent to 28 percent, over U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

Clinton also leads in hypothetical general election matchups for president in Pennsylvania over Trump (46 percent to 33 percent) and Cruz (45 percent to 35 percent).

In the Democratic primary for the nomination for the U.S. Senate, former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak of Delaware County extended his lead from 21 percent in February to 31 percent in March. Former state Environmental Secretary Katie McGinty showed little improvement, coming in at 14 percent. Braddock Mayor John Fetterman ranked at 7 percent. Joe Vodvarka, a semiretired manufacturer from Allegheny County, had no support.

1. Please PA, for the love of humanity, don't vote for Kasich like so many Ohio Dems did.

He's not the "good guy" he wants people to think he is, but for some reason a lot of Dems here switched parties to vote for him anyway. Apparently they felt that foiling Trump was more important than deciding Clinton or Sanders. Go figure. Kasich did take Ohio in the end, but it also boosted his already insufferable ego big time when what he needed was a major check to his ego instead.

Read up on his record here as governor and you will see that he's no better than the rest of the GOP lot. None of them deserve to win, but as much as I despise Trump and Cruz, it's almost too much to watch this asshole gallivanting across the country as if he should have the right to rule it.
