Rendell Sitting High in Pennsylvania
There's nothing like favorable polling to make a Governor confident in his bid for reelection. This morning, Pennsylvania Democrat Ed Rendell woke up to find himself in a very comfortable position as he seeks a second term, according to a poll from Quinnipiac University.
Pennsylvania voters give incumbent Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell mixed grades, including a 51 - 33 percent approval rating, but he has solid early leads over possible Republican challengers, including Bill Scranton and Lynn Swann, according to a Quinnipiac poll released today.51% might not be the greatest approval rating, but the actual match-up numbers are solid.
Gov. Rendell had a 52 - 30 percent approval rating in a September 16, 2004, poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN uh-pe-ack) University.
Match-ups between Rendell and possible Republican challengers show:
- Rendell over State Sen. Jeff Piccola 52 - 28 percent;
- The Governor tops former Lt. Gov. William Scranton III 50 - 35 percent;
- Rendell over former Pittsburgh Steeler Lynn Swann 50 - 34 percent.
