PA-PPP: Casey still solid

[Miles]

Link.

Casey (D)- 49%
Smith (R)- 33%

Casey has a 39/38 approval rating; mostly because only 56% of Democrats approve of him, but they still vote for him anyway. He's also getting 22% of Republicans against Smith.

Smith's name recognition is up to 45%.

On a more interesting note:

"Democrats are starting out with an advantage in the race for Attorney General. Kathleen Kane leads Republican opponent David Freed 42-33. The contests for Auditor General and Treasurer produce the exact same result with the Democrat ahead 35-34 in each of them and a lot of voters still undecided."

No surprise there.

Predictable. Smith will obviously improve among Republicans. I'm shocked he's at 45% name recognition.

As for the row offices, the surprise is McCord's one point lead. I expected him to do much better. Kane is still benefitting from a post primary bounce. That will obviously narrow and be the premier race. Auditor General should be a toss up throughout the campaign, too, but won't be as attention grabbing. Of course, all row office races struggle to get attention since they're up during Presidential (and, in this case, also Senate) elections.

Oh, Lord. I await the flood of Facebook, e-mail and text updates about this.
