Santorum in Jeopardy in Pennsylvania
The Republicans were able to gloat at knocking off Tom Daschle in an extremely red state this year. 2006 may provide the Democrats with a similar opportunity. Quinnipiac University has a new poll indicating extreme conservative Rick Santorum (R-PA) is prime for defeat.
Incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum trails State Treasurer Robert Casey, Jr., a possible Democratic challenger, 46 – 41 percent, in an early look at the 2006 Senate race, according to a Quinnipiac poll released today. Another 11 percent are undecided.Santorum at 41% against Casey. It would be difficult for anyone, let alone a right wing nut like Santorum, to dig out of that hole.
Sen. Santorum has a 52 – 31 percent approval rating and voters say by almost the same margin that he "deserves to be reelected," the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN uh-pe-ack) University poll finds.
Santorum would top other possible Democratic challengers:
- 47 – 39 percent over former State Treasurer Barbara Hafer;
- 50 – 34 percent over former U.S. Rep. Joseph Hoeffel;
- 51 – 30 percent over former State Rep. T.J. Rooney.
