Gravis Marketing Pennsylvania Public Opinion Poll | Republican Primary and General Election Shows Governor Tom Corbett Facing tough competition for the 2014 election
Winter Springs, Florida (PRWEB) February 01, 2014 -- The Latest Gravis Marketing public opinion poll shows a wide-open race for Governor of the State Of Pennsylvania.
A random survey of 1,673 likely registered voters in Pennsylvania conducted by Human Events and Gravis Marketing between 1/22/14 and 1/23/14 reveals the race for the governorship in Pennsylvania has become a wide-open affair as Tom Corbett’s support from his base constituency has all but eroded with likely contenders in the 2014 general election pulling these disaffected supporters to their own camps.
This core support among the Pennsylvania electorate has undergone a process of erosion since the 2010 election. According to Doug Kaplan President of Gravis Marketing "Preliminary findings below indicate declining support among Conservatives and Moderates whose support has shifted to Democrats or to other Republican contenders. From this data, it appears that if the election were held today a Democratic candidate would win the election against a Republican opponent."
Based on the results the impact of moderate voters and those “unsure” will likely prove decisive in the upcoming general election. Highlights from the Human Events and Gravis Marketing survey include: http://gravismarketing.com/polling-and-market-research/how-is-pennsylvania-looking-for-governor-corbett/
