Corbett the Gov Most Likely to Be Voted Out of Office?

Corbett is trailing Wolf by 20 points, a new poll shows.

Gov. Tom Corbett is the governor most likely to be voted out of office this November, a newspaper says following a new poll released Sunday shows.

The poll by the Rasmussen Report is the first one done post-primary for the gubernatorial race, and it shows that Corbett trails Democrat Tom Wolf by 20 points.

The Washington Post has been chronicling the gubernatorial races most likely to involve a party switch. About Corbett, it says: "Now that Democrats have completed their messy primary, they can focus on Gov. Tom Corbett (R). Businessman Tom Wolf (D) has deep pockets but has said he's not going to self-fund in the general election. He remains Democrats' best hope for a pickup."

The Post says of all the governors facing re-election this fall, Corbett is the most likely to be voted out of office.
