Pennsylvania Republican Gov. Tom Corbett finds himself down by double digits to his Democratic challenger Tom Wolf with under a month to go in the campaign. Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Michigan’s Rick Snyder, also a Republican, find themselves in tight races with their Democratic challengers.

According to the University of Virginia Center for Politics, 2014 is shaping up to be a very bad year for incumbent governors seeking re-election. U.Va. has found that out of 36 gubernatorial contests nationwide, 10 are labeled as “toss-up” or close races and that isn’t including Gov. Corbett’s race in Pennsylvania or Hawaii Democratic Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who lost his state’s primary earlier this year.
