Poll shows Shapp unpopular, voters fickle on issues
An 800 voter Republican poll finds Governor Milton J. Shapp viewed unfavorably, with 60 percent wanting his replacement, 20 percent reelecting him, and 20 percent undecided. When matched against rivals Frank L. Rizzo, Arlen Specter, and H. John Heinz, Shapp trails 36-35, 41-27, and 29-26. Heinz lacks a governing record, and some voters who favor him would be voting blind.
