Tom Corbett leaps upward with 50% approval

[One Term Floridian]

Who would've thought I'd occasionally be longing for the days Al Franken and other MN DFLers were comfortably winning nearly every congressional district, when Independent Strong Man Bill Walker had principles and didn't bother to drop out, when Tom Corbett leapt upward to 50% only to fall flat with 45% on Election Day, when Mark Warner carried Alleghany County by 9% and when Gary Peters landslided Land..

But in all seriousness, I wasn't prepared for Trump to win PA after Wolf convincingly flipped the state just 2 years prior. That really speaks to Corbett's weakness as an incumbent at the time. 45% was probably the best he was ever going to get. Other than him, the GOP governors got extremely lucky that year. A combination of "Ebolagate" and the FL Dems' never-ending ineptitude dragged Rick Scott across the line to a 2nd term in FL. Had Paul Davis not ventured into a strip club in his younger days, he'd be the incumbent governor of KS right now. I could go on and on
