Yes, district is about 2 to 1 Democrat. But SW Pennsylvania Democrats are like their close cousins in West Virginia-- addicted to pork, but socially conservative. McCain won this district. Critz is advertising that he's pro-life, pro-gun and against ObamaCare.

It is really not clear from the poll if this is registered voters or likely voters. The polling outfit, Susquehanna, is generally considered credible.

McCain won the district by maybe 1% Kerry won the district in 2004. It is not a swing district at all.

Likely Voters, also a one day poll with a 4.9% MOE. I still believe Burns is winning by 4 or more points. Also, Critz has to be considered the “incumbent,” which means he’s in trouble if he’s polling well below 50%. Daily Kos/Research 2000 had Burns +6 in late April.

Same old "blue-dog" song. Tout your "independence" from the dem party and act "conservative," only to fold up and kneel at Queen Nancy's feet during a vote of a critical piece of legislation. For the dems, it always comes down to protecting their party above all else. Not buying it. Ever.
