Corbett Support Under 50% in GOP Primary

What’s weird about the findings in the new Harper poll is that Corbett’s under 50% in a match-up with Bruce Castor, but the political space for a primary is to his left:

Corbett leads among self-identified ‘very conservative’ voters 59% to 19% and ‘somewhat conservative’ voters 53% to 19%, while Castor leads among moderates (41% to 26%) and liberals (50% to 0%)* That result also echoes the PPP poll, which showed Castor similarly strong among moderate and liberal Republicans. It contradicts the actual contours of the campaign thus far, in which Castor has endeavored to run to Corbett’s right on numerous issues.
