It looks like Pennsylvania’s great Governor, Ed Rendell (D-PA) will soar to victory against ex- Pittsburgh Steeler Lynn Swann (R).

In a new Rasmussen Reports poll, Rendell leads Swann by 20%.

We all know that Democratic Senate nominee Bob Casey is trying to ride the Governor’s long coattails into office and is therefore running the worst campaign in the history of Pennsylvania. This 20% spread is encouraging, not only for Rendell, but also for Casey.

From our friends at Political Wire:

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) has opened up a huge lead over challenger Lynn Swann (R), according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll. Rendell currently tops Swann 52% to 34%, an astounding 21-point gain for Rendell since April’s poll. These numbers represent Rendell’s largest lead to date in his bid for reelection.

Get ‘R Done Big Eddy!

Looking like the hype is passing for ex-football star Lynn Swann’s (R) gubernatorial campaign in PA. A new Quinnipiac poll shows Gov. Ed Rendell (D-PA) leading Swann 47% to 37%.

From Political Wire:

Said pollster Clay Richards: “Gov. Rendell continues to lead Lynn Swann by a double-digit margin even though both his approval rating and favorability have dropped. Mr. Swann’s favorable rating also has dropped slightly - likely because of his fumbles in answering questions on key issues.”
