Amid all the brouhaha surrounding Senator Arlen Specter’s switch to the Democratic Party, Washington Post blogger Greg Sargent uncovers a fascinating fact in the latest opinion polling from the great state of Pennsylvania:
Buried in this week’s Quinnipiac Poll of Pennsylvania is a stunning number that really leaves you wondering why Arlen Specter is holding out against the Employee Free Choice Act.
The poll finds that twice as many Pennsylvania Republicans want him to support the measure than want him to oppose it. Twenty six percent of Republicans say his opposition makes them less likely to back him; only 13% say it makes them more likely.
If you want to encourage Senator Specter to listen to the voters of Pennsylvania (Democratic and Republican) and support the Employee Free Choice Act, our brothers and sisters at SEIU have an online form you can use to do just that.
