Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett's approval rating is at its lowest point ever, according to the results of a new Franklin & Marshall College poll.

Politics PA reports that the F & M poll found that 17 percent of respondents think that Corbett is doing a good/excellent job, while 69 percent think that it's time for a new governor.

"No demographic or geographic category gave Corbett positive marks," the Politics PA report states. "His worst region was Allegheny County, his home turf, which gave him just 11% job approval while 85% gave him fair or poor marks."
