Remember, this is the only poll that J.J. trusts in Pennsylvania, so this is important:
52-43 Obama (likely voters)
50-39 Obama (registered voters)
Obama led by 6 percentage points in an August F&M poll of registered voters.
Casey led Republican Senate nominee Tom Smith by a 46 percent to 34 percent margin. Among likely voters, Casey's lead narrowed to 48 percent to 38 percent. In the same August F&M poll, Casey also led Smith by 12 points among registered voters.
Pennsylvanians see both Democrats more favorably. Half of voters surveyed (50 percent) said their opinion of Obama was strongly or somewhat favorable with more than two in five voters (42 percent) saying they view him strongly or somewhat unfavorably.
Only about a third (34 percent) had a favorable view of Romney compared to more than half (53 percent) who have an unfavorable view.
Almost two in five voters (37 percent) had a favorable view of Casey with less than a third (29 percent) having an unfavorable view.
Only a fifth (20 percent) had a favorable view of Smith with about the same number (18 percent) having an unfavorable view. His bigger problem is more than three in five voters (62 percent) are still undecided or don't know enough about him.
The poll surveyed 632 registered voters between Sept. 18 and Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points. The sample of 392 likely voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 points.
