Background Information:
Casey & Obama’s Promises…
Casey: The Obama Stimulus “Is Helping Get Our Economy Out Of The Ditch By Creating Jobs And Aiding Those Hardest Hit By The Worst Economic Downturn Since The Great Depression.” (Senator Bob Casey Website, www.casey.senate.gov, Accessed 2/1/11)
“When Obama Signed The Stimulus Law, The Nation’s Unemployment Rate Was 7.7 Percent. His Administration Had Promised The Program Would Stop The Jobless Rate From Passing 8 Percent.”(“Fact Check: Obama’s Stimulus Promises One Year Later,” Minnesota Public Radio, 2/18/10)
Casey & Obama’s Record…
Since President Obama Took Office, Pennsylvania Has Lost 198,815 Jobs And The Unemployment Rate Has Increased From 6.8 Percent To 8.3 Percent. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 11/7/11)
- There Are 523,090 Unemployed Workers In Pennsylvania, Over 82,000 More Than When Obama Took Office. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 11/7/11)
- In 2010, 26 Percent Of Pennsylvania’s Unemployed Workers Had Been Out Of Work For A Year Or Longer. (Sara Murray, “Long Term Unemployment By State,” The Wall Street Journal’s “Real Time Economics Blog”, 7/21/11)
Since The First Stimulus Was Passed, Pennsylvania Has Lost 165,653 Jobs And The Unemployment Rate Has Increased From 7.2 Percent To 8.3 Percent. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 10/21/11)
Since The First Stimulus Passed, Pennsylvania Has Lost 23,600 Construction Jobs And 25,700 Manufacturing Jobs. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 10/21/11)

President Obama Suffers From Abysmal Approval In Pennsylvania:
Only 41 Percent Of Pennsylvania Voters Approve Of Obama’s Job Performance. “Obama’s job approval rating — 41 percent approving and 54 percent disapproving — shows little change from a June poll, said Jim Lee, president of the Harrisburg-based polling firm. What changed is the intensity of voters’ disapproval.” (Brad Bumsted, “Susquehanna Poll Suggests Obama Would Lose Pennsylvania,”Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 10/21/11)
- 42 Percent Of Pennsylvania Voters “Strongly Disapprove” Of Obama’s Job Performance, Compared To 18 Percent Who Say They “Strongly Approve.” “’The negative intensity should be of concern to the president since 42 percent say they strongly disapprove compared to only 18 percent who strongly approve — or more than a 2-1 disparity,’ Lee said. Intensity is important because it can be a ‘galvanizing factor’ in determining voter turnout, he said.” (Brad Bumsted, “Susquehanna Poll Suggests Obama Would Lose Pennsylvania,” Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,10/21/11)
Obama’s Support Is Waning Among “Working-Class Democrats” In Pennsylvania, “Largely Based On A Loss Of Trust.” “Obama has a Pennsylvania problem, particularly with working-class Democrats and women who supported Hillary Clinton in 2008. He eventually won them over (along with young people and blacks), beating Republican John McCain by nearly 10 points. Today, not so much — largely based on loss of trust. Candidates know they can evoke strong negative feelings and still win back voters. But voters’ trust is nearly impossible to recover.” (Salena Zito, “Obama’s Pennsylvania Problem” Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,10/16/11)
