Tom Wolf Would Beat Corbett by 19 Points, Says Quinnipiac Poll

http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2014/02/wolf_posts_double-digit_lead_o.html#incart_m-rpt-1

Three new polls all show Tom Wolf as the Democratic frontrunner. Wagner's entrance to the race has little effect. Schwartz falls in polls. However, the important factor is that Wolf has bi-partisan appeal as seen below.

Excepts:

"A Quinnipiac University poll, also released today, bolstered that claim, with Wolf posting the greatest margin of victory over Corbett from the Democratic field.

Wolf would defeat Corbett 52-33 percent, according to the poll. That 19 point gap far exceeds the margin of victory other Democratic challengers registered.

Montgomery County’s McCord and Allegheny County’s Wagner both top Corbett by 7 points, 44-37 percent and 43-36 percent respectively. Schwartz, also of Montgomery County, leads the governor 44-38 percent, according to the poll."

I have to be honest early on, I had my money on Schwartz. He's running a terrific campaign, and I was really impressed with his policy plan. Very detailed, with tangible steps to take, not just talking points. I haven't seen anything that really compares to it. I like McCords attitude, I think the party needs that. But I doubt his effectiveness as a governor with a hIghly divided legislature
