A new poll by Susquehanna indicates high support among Democratic voter for a primary.
As you may know, U.S. Senator Arlen Specter recently switched from Republican to Democrat. Should Arlen Specter be the Democratic nominee for the 2010 election for US Senate or should he face a challenge from one or more other Democrats in the primary?
1. Specter should be nominee 28%
2. Specter should face challenge 63%
3. Undecided 32 09%
The question was asked only of Pennsylvania Dems. The number who want right to choose between Specter and one or more other Dems (63%) is more than twice the number who don’t (28%).
There was better news for Specter over the weekend, a poll showed him with a large lead over Sestak and above 50% support. I actually think those numbers are fairly soft for such a well-known name, but Sestak certainly has an uphill climb.
A new Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group poll in Pennsylvania found Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) way ahead of Rep. Joe Sestak (D) in a possible Democratic primary match up, 56% to 16% with 16% undecided.
