Here is some polling goodness for our open thread today….
2013
MASSACHUSETTS–U.S. SENATE–PPP: Rep. Ed Markey (D) 47, Gabriel Gomez (R) 39.
MASSACHUSETTS–U.S. SENATE–University of Massachusetts: Markey 51, Gomez 40.
2014
PENNSYLVANIA–GOVERNOR–Quinnipiac: Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D) 45, Gov. Tom Corbett (R) 45; State Treasurer Rob McCord (D) 43, Corbett 35.
“Already unpopular with Pennsylvania women, Gov. Tom Corbett trails the leading female challenger, U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, and State Treasurer Rob McCord,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “Election Day is 17 months away, but Schwartz is in a strong position to become Pennsylvania’s first female Governor.”
Pennsylvania voters say 52 – 32 percent that Corbett does not deserve to be reelected. Women turn thumbs down 55 – 27 percent, as men say no 49 – 38 percent.
Voters disapprove 48 – 35 percent of the job Corbett is doing, close to his all-time low of 50 – 35 percent in a June 27, 2012, Quinnipiac University survey. Women disapprove 52 – 30 percent, while men disapprove 45 – 41 percent.
MICHIGAN–GOVERNOR–PPP: U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer (D) 42, Gov. Rick Snyder (R) 38.
“Schauer’s initial lead has a lot more to do with Snyder than it does with himself. Even after his official candidacy announcement, he has just 38% statewide name recognition. But Snyder continues to be one of the most unpopular Governors in the country with only 40% of voters approving of him to 52% who disapprove.”
