Specter's Popularity Has Nosedived: Only 28% Think He Should Be Reelected

A new poll of Pennsylvania voters suggests that Sen. Arlen Specter's job approval rating has nose-dived over the past few months.

Thirty-four percent of those questioned in a Franklin and Marshall College survey released Thursday approve of the job Specter's doing as senator. That's down 18 points from a 52 percent approval rating in a Franklin and Marshall poll conducted in March.

The survey also indicates that only 28 percent believe Specter deserves to be re-elected next year, down from 40 percent in March.
