The latest Muhlenberg College poll of registered voters finds President Barack Obama's approval rating in Pennsylvania has plummeted to just 35 percent. Obama won the state by 10 points in 2008.
"Asked if Obama's policies have helped or hurt the economy, just 23 percent said helped, 41 percent said hurt and 32 percent said his policies haven't made a difference," the Allentown Morning Call reports (emphasis added.)
But all is not lost.
"If there is any silver lining in the poll for Obama, it's that 31% of Pennsylvanians say their vote in November 2012 will depend on who the Republican candidate is. And Obama still slightly edges out an anonymous GOP contender 36 percent to 31%," The Morning Call reports.
Yes, more than two-thirds of voters have essentially already made up their minds and the sitting president gets just 36 percent of the vote against an anonymous contender -- and that's the good news.
