Just a few days ago the Keystone Poll found that Lynn Swann and Ed Rendell were starting off even in the gubenatorial contest. Now the Quinnipiac Poll is out and it looks a lot different.
Key points:
Rendell, the incumbent, starts with a big lead over Swann [48-36%].
Rendell suffers a gender gap -- Men prefer him 52-35%; with women it's only 44-36%.
Swann's biggest problem is inexperience. Only 26% of the respondent say he has the right kind of experience to be governor.
The Republican base is really, really disaffected. 22% of Republicans plan to vote for Rendell. There is still a lot of resentment against the party leadership and the white house for backing Specter against Toomey two years ago.
