Pennsylvania Senate: Casey by 23
Santorum Remains Most Vulnerable Incumbent
May 31 , 2006

Rick Santorum:Most Vulnerable Incumbent
The latest Rasmussen Reports election poll in Pennsylvania shows Republican Senator Rick Santorum solidifying his standing as most vulnerable congressional incumbent this election season. Santorum now trails Democratic challenger Bob Casey 56% to 33% (see crosstabs). Our latest survey of the governor's race also brings good news for the Democrat in that contest.

Last month, Santorum trailed by thirteen percentage points. The incumbent began 2006 down by 20 points and closed to within single digits by March. That was before the Primary Election solidified Casey's position as the Democratic nominee. Santorum continues to flounder with his base, attracting support from only 67% of GOP voters. Casey now attracts 87% of Democrats, a ten-point gain since our April 20 poll.

The Senate race has been enlivened of late by controversy over Santorum's official residence, with the incumbent accusing the Casey campaign of spying. Senator Santorum is viewed favorably by 42% of likely voters, unfavorably by 47%. About a quarter, 26%, view Santorum Very Unfavorably. Casey is viewed favorably by 59%, unfavorably by 28%, with 13% undecided.

Pennsylvania voters tend to trust Democrats more than Republicans on most issues, with the exception of national security. See our story on the gubernatorial race for details. Senator Santorum has no presidential coattails to cling to: only 36% approve of the job President Bush is doing. Sixty-two percent (62%) disapprove including 45% who Strongly Disapprove.

2. Santorum was on Imus this am

He acknowledged that he was behind, but
said his #’s would skyrocket after he debated his “hiding” opponent in Sept.

Russertt will be the moderator.

He also talked about his upcoming Walk for Autism.

3. Saw some of it. Imus usually calls his ideas crazy, but then he

throws in, "but I like the guy." - He says that about B** too. Makes me sick.

The only freakin reason Santorum is gung-ho on the autism crusade is because he supported/sponsored a bill to hold drug companies harmless on lawsuits about themerasol (sp?) (can it cause autism) in vaccines.

Imus called his hand on it. From that point forward Santorum was on board. If Imus hadn't uncovered the bill, Santorum would still be pushing the thing.
