Japanese telecom and media group SoftBank Corp has set its sights on Indian e-commerce in its aggressive expansion drive, saying it will invest about $10 billion in the booming sector as it took a strategic stake in one of its rising stars.

Republican Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett continues to trail his Democratic opponent by double-digit margins a month before the general election, according to a poll released Tuesday by Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.

Corbett trails Democrat Tom Wolf by 17 percentage points with support from 38 percent of likely voters, the poll showed, compared to 55 percent who favor Wolf.

“It's a matter of simple math and the ticking clock and both are working against Corbett,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Corbett lacks the support of 22 percent of Republicans, the lowest rate of support from his own party by any incumbent governor.

Wolf, a businessman who poured his personal fortune into a four-way race for the Democratic nomination came out early with a series of autobiographical ads that touted his work as a Peace Corp volunteer.
