Pat Toomey has taken a 46 percent to 41 percent lead over Sen. Arlen Specter in the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania, a new Quinnipiac poll shows, as the health care law remains unpopular among voters in the key swing state and President Obama’s job approval rating has turned negative.
Pennsylvania voters now disapprove of the health care law by a 53 percent to 39 percent margin — and by a 39 percent to 20 percent margin, they say they’re more likely to vote against a lawmaker who supported Obamacare.
As for the president himself, his rating has turned negative, with 49 percent disapproving of his job performance, compared with 45 percent approving.
