Rasmussen has a new poll on the Pennsylvania senate race and it’s bad, bad news for Arlen Specter:
The new Rasmussen poll of Pennsylvania finds Sen. Arlen Specter just barely ahead of his Democratic primary challenger, Rep. Joe Sestak.
The numbers: Specter 46%, Sestak 42%, with a ±3% margin of error. In early August, Specter had been ahead by 47%-34%.
The only upside is that Specter has a huge warchest, $8M. Joe Sestak’s tireless campaigning and his devastating commercial on Specter’s support for McCain/Palin is probably having an effect.
The poll also tested Toomey against both candidates and it shows the Pennsylvania is ready for a change:
In the general election match-ups, Republican former Rep. Pat Toomey leads Specter by 45%-40%, while Sestak edges out Toomey 38%-37%, with a ±3% margin of error.
