Some notes on the cross-tabs:
With two pro-life candidates battling for the U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, the abortion issue will be of particular interest. While pro-life voters have become a core constituency for Republicans both in Pennsylvania and the nation as a whole, the presence of an anti-abortion Democrat may be diminishing the magnitude of support for Senator Santorum. The survey results indicate that Santorum is leading Casey by a margin of 50% to 35%. While significant, the 15% margin for Santorum can be seen as disappointing when compared to the percentage of votes President Bush received from pro-life voters in 2004. In particular, Bush beat Kerry by a margin of 3 to 1 among pro-life voters, winning 75% support from this key group. . . .
As always, the impact of gender on voting behavior will be an important consideration in the Senate race. The survey results find Bob Casey holding double-digit leads among both men and women voters. While the 10% lead that Casey maintains over Santorum among women voters in the Keystone State might be expected given the history of Democratic success in this demographic, his 12 point lead among Pennsylvania men is particularly notable. Nationally, Democrats have struggled to secure male votes, particularly among white men. As Table Two demonstrates, Casey outpaces Santorum among all male voters, including white men in the commonwealth. . . .
While former Steeler star receiver Lynn Swann maintains a two touchdown lead (14%) points among Steeler fans in Pennsylvania, while Eagle post game commentator Rendell has posted a three touchdown margin among Eagle fans in the Keystone state.
