For months, Chuck's supporters have been clamoring, "Why aren't we included in the polls? Chuck's got support out there."
Well, thanks to the monthly-or-so Keystone Poll at F&M, you have your wish. On top of new Casey-Santorum numbers, I can report the results, via the Philadelphia Daily News:
The poll shows Republican Santorum's fortunes also sinking. His job-approval ratings are at a six-year low, and the poll shows him trailing Democratic opponent Bob Casey by 16 points, 51 to 35 percent.
"You may see Santorum try to make Casey the issue, and convince voters he's the least objectionable candidate," Madonna said. "So it's likely Santorum will go negative, and harshly negative."
The poll found Casey leading his announced opponent, Chuck Pennacchio, in the Democratic senatorial primary, 67 to 5 percent, with 28 percent undecided.
In September's Keystone Poll, Casey was up 50-37 on Santorum.
