As lawmakers continue to consider Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s proposal to raise the state’s minimum wage, a new poll sheds some light on what residents think.
The Franklin and Marshall College poll found 69 percent of registered PA voters strongly or somewhat favor raising the state’s minimum wage, while 29 percent strongly or somewhat oppose an increase.
Pollster and political analyst Terry Madonna says he finds it interesting that while the majority of Republican lawmakers have called the governor’s 12 an hour wage too high, yet Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman says he’s open to discussions.
Pennsylvania’s current minimum wage sits at $7.25 per hour.
