Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett losing by a wide margin in re-election race

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett is in big trouble heading into the stretch run of his re-election campaign.

Franklin and Marshall College rolled out a new poll Thursday that showed Mr. Corbett is trailing his democratic challenger Tom Wolf 49 percent to 24 percent among registered voters, while 25 percent remain undecided in the race.

The survey found that 24 percent approve of the job Mr. Corbett is going, compared to 34 percent who approve of the job President Obama is doing.

The survey was conducted from Aug. 18-25 and carries a margin or error of plus or minus 4.3 percent.
