This just in: Michael Nutter is about to be elected mayor of Philadelphia.
Well, duh.
Today's Keystone Poll shows that Nutter, the Democrat, leads Republican Al Taubenberger, 74 percent to 8 percent. A supermajority (65 percent) has a favorable view of Nutter, while fully 82 percent told pollsters they did not know enough about Taubenberger to form an opinion. That tends to happen when you've got no money and there've been no ads.
The poll also found Philadelphians very negative about the direction of the city - unclear how long a honeymoon Nutter will have to turn it around.
Here are the complete results:
