Barletta leading Kanjorski by 9 points in poll

Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta has opened up a significant lead in his bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski, according to a new poll.

The poll, released this morning, showed Barletta, a Republican, leading Kanjorski, the longtime Democratic incumbent, by nine points among registered voters in the 11th Congressional District. In the survey of 547 registered voters, conducted by Franklin & Marshall College, 44 percent supported Barletta, while 35 percent backed Kanjorski.

Kanjorski is already considered one of the most vulnerable Congressional Democrats in the country, and is certainly in the most perilous situation of any Pennsylvania incumbent. The race is ranked the fifth-most competitive in the country by PolitickerPA.com's Pindell Report.

The poll, which had a margin of error of 4.2 percent, is sure to increase Democratic concerns about Kanjorski, and is likely to intensify effots by both national parties to influence the race.

In the poll, 21 percent of voters were undecided. Perhaps most concerning for Kanjorski was that only 51 percent of Democrats indicated they would vote for him. Fewer than two in five voters told pollsters Kanjorski deserves reelection.
