6/9/11, "Obama struggling in Keystone State, poll says," USA Today, David Jackson
"It's no secret that President Obama is on the downslope politically, and that includes the pivotal state of Pennsylvania.
A new poll from Susquehanna Polling and Research says that 48% of Pennsylvanians disapprove of Obama's performance, while 41% approve.
Also: Only 43% of registered voters in Pennsylvania say Obama has done well enough to deserve re-election, the poll said; 50% say " it is time to give a new person a chance."
Writes Jim Lee, president of Susquehanna Polling & Research:
"The fact that 1 in 2 voters are looking for someone else suggests that President Obama has little room to grow and that Pennsylvania will again be a toss-up state in next year's presidential election, particularly if the slow economic recovery continues to haunt the president."
Simply put, it's hard to see how Obama wins re-election without Pennsylvania.
But it's early. And like the stock market and the weather, things are forever changing in politics.
