Let's set the Wayback Machine for 2005. (For background, see "Poll: Valley voters soft on Santorum", Allentown Morning Call, 5/19/2005)
According to a poll, 47 of voters said that Rick Santorum was not worthy of being re-elected to the U.S. Senate. (Note: All references to this poll that I've found so far cite those surveyed as "voters", as opposed to "all Pennsylvania adults", so the comparison needs to be taken with a grain of salt.)
But this doesn't stop me from asking, "Does this survey result sound familiar?"
In Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate election of 2006, Bob Casey Jr. defeated the incumbent Rick Santorum, freeing him up for his quixotic run for the Presidency.
Sidebar: I suspect that these numbers were made up.
Considering the decisive outcome.
