WASHINGTON - Republican Don Sherwood, who admitted last year to an extramarital affair, is trailing his Democratic opponent, according to an independent poll released Wednesday.

Among likely voters in the northeast and central Pennsylvania district, Democrat Chris Carney had 50 percent to Sherwood's 38 percent, a 12-point lead, according to the Keystone Poll. The poll has a 5 percentage point margin of error.

Sherwood, a four-term incumbent, looked to have a safe seat in the conservative district until the affair became public. On Thursday, President Bush visited the district to campaign for him.

Of those polled, 91 percent said they had heard about Sherwood's affair, with two out of 10 voters saying it made them less likely to vote for Sherwood, the poll found.

1. This is great news because the district is overwhelmingly repuke

Chris Carney was a great fit for that district and hopefully will spend years representing PA-10!
