HARRISBURG — A new poll shows Pennsylvanians’ views of Gov. Tom Corbett differ markedly along gender lines as he approaches six months in office.

A Quinnipiac University poll released this morning shows Pennsylvanians as a whole remain divided over Corbett, with 39 percent approving of the job he’s doing and 38 percent disapproving. That’s similar to April’s poll results.

But men and women have much different impressions of Corbett’s performance compared to the previous Quinnipiac poll. Today’s results show 30 percent of female respondents approved compared to 48 percent of men. The 18-point gap is more than twice the 7-point margin in the April 29 poll.

The telephone survey of 1,277 registered voters was taken in the week that ended Sunday. The sampling error margin is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
