New poll shows Corbett gaining in Pa. gov race
Endangered Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) appears to be closing the gap with Democratic opponent Tom Wolf, according to a new Magellan Strategies poll conducted for the news website The Keystone Report and released Tuesday.
Corbett has pulled to within 12 percentage points among likely voters, the Magellan survey found. Wolf, a York County businessman, had the support of 50 percent, to 38 percent for the governor. The rest were undecided.
In an earlier series of independent polls taken from late May through June, Corbett was trailing Wolf by an average of 21.7 percentage points.
The new poll comes after a steady barrage of attack ads from the Corbett camp.
Magellan’s findings were in line with a New York Times/CBS poll last week, which found Wolf holding a 9-point lead. The latter survey was conducted on the Internet over 21 days, however, a methodology that many pollsters say is problematic, in part because it excludes people who are not online.
