Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett's cuts to education funding and proposed credits for chemical refiners has sent his approval rating into a swoon. Just 36 percent of Pennsylvanians approved of the Republican governor's job performance this month, down from his all-time high of 50 percent in September, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.

Wasn't his approval rating sky high a month or two ago?

If his all time high was 50 in September, I doubt his approvals were sky high a month or two ago. Grin

I thought I remembered seeing another poll that had him much higher than that.  Guess I was wrong. Tongue

He may be the first PA incumbent governor ever defeated (incumbents were limited to 1 term until 1968). Maybe Casey will go for it.

Sky high? No. Never.

Casey won't run until it's an open seat in 2018. If Casey is re-elected this year, a run for Governor in 2018 would coincide with the end of his Senate term.

As far as everyone knows, yes.

Is Corbett really that bad of a Governor? I mean the guy is not polarizing like Rick Scott.

His education cuts have made him quite hated, yes.  Rightfully so.  Not to mention he's given unbelievable power and benefits to Marcellus Shale.
