– A newly released Muhlenberg College/Morning Call poll that surveyed 429 likely voters over the phone has Tom Wolf far ahead of Tom Corbett by 22 points.

Wolf stands at 54 percent as Corbett struggles at 33 percent. This comes after Qunnipiac University released poll results from a survey of 1,161 likely voters showing Wolf with 59 percent compared to Corbett’s 35 percent.

Huffpost Pollster has been tracking every poll related to this gubernatorial race as well as others since early 2013. Among the 18 polls they have listed, Wolf is ahead in all of them except for one from March 2013 in which the two candidates were tied.

These statistics are both comforting and reason for concern. It is undoubtedly good that the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO-endorsed gubernatorial candidate is ahead in the polls, but it is discomforting to think that voters may be less inclined to cast a vote if they take a Wolf victory for granted.

We are just about six weeks from Election Day (November 4), and two weeks from the deadline to register to vote (October 6). If you or someone you know has yet to register vote, get information on how to do so here.

Low voter turnout is the only way Tom Corbett can win re-election. Complacency is our biggest enemy at this point, and it is up to you to vote on November 4 and encourage others to do so.
