Title: PA-PPP: To Hillary, Santorum would lose as badly as in 2006 Post by: Tender Branson on March 13, 2013, 03:31:04 PM Looking towards 2016 Hillary Clinton would be an overwhelming favorite in the state- she leads Paul Ryan (52/40), Marco Rubio (52/37), and Rick Santorum (55/38) all by double digit margins.
Santorum is not popular in his home state, with 42% of voters rating him favorably to 46% with a negative opinion. That compares pretty unfavorably to Clinton's 55/35 in the state. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2013/03/pennsylvania-miscellany.html#more Title: Re: PA-PPP: To Hillary, Santorum would lose as badly as in 2006 Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on March 13, 2013, 03:33:29 PM I presume she'd about the same as Obama in Philly and better everywhere else, especially the West. She obviously wins Fayette/Greene/Beaver/Cambria/Mercer, probably Washington and Lawrence. Westmoreland, Indiana, Somerset, and Armstrong are sadly gone, and Butler was never really Democratic.

Clinton 52% Rubio 37% Clinton 52% Ryan 40% Clinton 55% Santorum 38% This is the Clinton/Rubio margin in the Midwestern and/or Rustbelt states that PPP has polled since the first of the year: MI: Clinton +14 MN: Clinton +13 PA: Clinton +15 WI: Clinton +14 Title: Re: PA-PPP: To Hillary, Santorum would lose as badly as in 2006 Post by: Snowstalker Mk.

Title: Re: PA-PPP: To Hillary, Santorum would lose as badly as in 2006 Post by: pbrower2a on March 14, 2013, 07:58:17 AM No surprise. The Favorite Son effect works to the political benefit only of a politician who has a positive image in his state. He will still be known as an in-house (technically Senate) enforcer for a bad President. His Hard Right ideology can win in Pennsylvania only in a wave election for Republicans (see also Senator Pat Toomey, whose approvals just went underwater).
The Favorite Son effect works to a large extent because people know the politician in question -- if the association is positive. It does nothing to help a politician known and despised.

They see him as an embarrassment to their state.
