PRESIDENT Obama came to the one place in Pennsylvania where he is still popular - Philadelphia - to stump yesterday for Tom Wolf's campaign for governor.

Gov. Corbett, seeking a second term but trailing Wolf by double-digits in many polls, probably wishes Obama tried his luck in any other part of the state.

Obama's approval rating is 51 percent in Philadelphia, according to last Wednesday's Daily News/Franklin & Marshall College Poll. His disapproval rating with registered voters in northeast, southwest, northwest and central Pennsylvania ranges from 73 percent to 76 percent.

The president was raucously received at Temple University's Liacouras Center, where about 5,500 people roared in approval.

Obama's task: boosting voter turnout in Philadelphia.

He acknowledged that many Democrats tend to skip voting in midterm elections, telling the crowd, "There's no excuse to just give away our power." He urged them to push others to vote.

"We've got some work to do because two days from now you get to choose your future," Obama said to cheers. "I need all of you to go grab your friends, grab your classmates, talk to your co-workers, knock on some doors, make some phone calls . . ."

Obama was interrupted by a woman screaming, "I love you."
