Awww, I guess unprincipled self-indulgence doesn’t play as well in Pennsylvania as ol’ Arlen thought it would.
From RCP Blog.
Now the bad news for Specter: since switching parties on April 28 his ratings have taken a serious hit.
In March of this year Specter had a 52% job approval rating, today it’s just 34%.
Specter’s favorable rating has plummeted a net of 30 points in the past three months, swinging from a +24 (48 fav/24 unfav) in March to a -6 (31 fav/37 unfav) today.
Most troubling of all for Specter: 12 weeks ago 40% of voters said he deserved to be reelected, now only 28% support his reelection while 57% say it’s “time for a change.”
Love that last bit about 57% thinking it is “time for a change.” Change from when, April, when Specter switched? Maybe change since the “Change” election in November? Either way, with 48% of Pennsylvanians thinking the state is on the wrong track and only 44% thinking right track, there really is only one party to change to, isn’t there.

That Specteracle is definitely going to lose popularity. Well, what did he expect? He quit on the Grand Old Party so that he could win his primary. Typical self-serving politician.
