Republican Tom Corbett, Pennsylvania's attorney general, has double-digit leads over two Democratic candidates for governor but at this point in the race the percentage of undecideds are almost the same as Corbett's level of support, according to a Susquehanna Polling and Research survey conducted March 3-6.

Corbett leads Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato 39 percent to 24 percent with 35 percent undecided.

Corbett leads Auditor General Jack Wagner 37 percent to 26 percent with 36 percent undecided.Susquehanna did not test former Democratic Rep. Joe Hoeffel.

A Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll conducted March 8 had Corbett leading the Democratic hopefuls, including Hoeffel, but his margin over Onorato and Wagner was smaller than in the Susquehanna survey.

Corbett led Onorato 40 percent to 34 percent with 26 percent undecided. The margin of error was 4 points.

Corbett led Wagner 41 percent to 32 percent with 27 percent undecided.

Corbett led Hoeffel 41 percent to 31 percent with 28 percent undecided.

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
