June 22, 2006 - Swann Gains No Ground On Rendell In Gov Race, Quinnipiac University Pennsylvania Poll Finds; Hike Sales Tax To Cut Property Tax, Voters Say Republican challenger Lynn Swann, the former Pittsburgh Steeler, has gained no ground on Gov. Ed Rendell in their race for Governor and trails the Democratic incumbent 55 - 31 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. This compares to a 55 - 33 percent Rendell lead in a May 12 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN uh-pe-ack) University poll. In this latest survey, Gov. Rendell leads Swann 78 - 13 percent among Democrats and 60 - 22 percent among independent voters. Swann leads 61 - 27 percent among Republicans. Men back Rendell 50 - 38 percent, while women back him 59 - 26 percent. Among Swann supporters, 54 percent say their vote is mainly against Rendell. Republicans who identify themselves as conservative back Swann 67 - 22 percent, while self- identified liberal or moderate Republicans back Swann 53 - 36 percent. Pennsylvania voters approve 55 -30 percent of the job Rendell is doing, tying his highest approval 55 - 31 percent May 12. "The Lynn Swann campaign is dead in the water while the Rendell juggernaut continues to charge forward. Swann is gaining no ground on the popular Democratic Governor and, in fact, is having trouble within his own party, where more than a quarter of Republicans are supporting Rendell," said Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. * Purple states are all turning blue and some red states are turning purple. Rove's only hope is to cheat-cheat-cheat, and believe me, he is planning to. But this time it may not be enough. And after the election we can have real election fraud reform to sanitize all the rightwing dirty tricks and put some of the perps in prison. GW Bush didn't win either election. He's an illegitimate president acting like he's been elected Emperor. He and Cheney must go.
