The Franklin & Marshall College Poll
The February 2013 Franklin and Marshall College Poll of Pennsylvania registered voters finds strong opposition to the governor’s plan to privatize the management of the Pennsylvania lottery, but moderate support for privatizing the state-owned liquor stores. Pennsylvania’s registered voters also express strong support for increasing funding for the state’s roads, bridges and transit systems, and for increased regulation of firearms. The Poll also finds that Governor Tom Corbett’s job performance ratings are the lowest of his tenure.
