Poll: Rendell job approval at 27%

It's taken them awhile, but Pennsylvania residents have finally figured out what a disastrous job Gov. Ed Rendell has done over the past eight years.

Rendell-fatigue may also sink the campaign of his protege, Dan Onorato, who wants to continue the failed Rendell agenda for another four years.

From Public Policy Polling:

Casting a very large shadow over this race is the unpopularity of outgoing Governor Ed Rendell. Only 27% of likely voters for this fall approve of the job he's doing while 63% are unhappy. Rendell's barely in positive territory even among Democrats at 45/42 and he's pretty universally disliked by Republicans (8/85) and independents (23/61.) Rendell's unpopularity can't be at all helpful for Onorato's chances. Swing voters aren't likely to choose another Democrat if they think the current one's doing a bad job, and Democrats' lack of enthusiasm about voting this year could certainly have something to do with their lukewarmness toward their party's present Governor.
