| PA Sen Poll: Toomey Leading Both Dems |
| 2009-12-10 |
| Pat Toomey's (R) numbers are on the rise and Joe Sestak's (D) numbers are falling in a new Pennsylvania Senate poll conducted by Rasmussen (1,200 LVs, 12/8, MoE +/- 3%). Toomey now leads both potential Democratic foes in the 2010 contest. General Election Matchups Toomey 46 (+1 vs. last poll, 10/13) Specter 42 (+2) Und 9 (-1) Toomey 44 (+7) Sestak 38 (unch) Und 13 (-6) Democratic Primary Election Matchup Specter 48 (+2) Sestak 35 (-7) Und 14 (+4) The primary sample of 442 likely Democratic voters has a margin of error of +/- 5%. Specter led Sestak by 16 in the previous RCP Average. On health care, 44 percent support the Congressional plan while 53 percent oppose it. On the public option, 42 percent say they support creating one while 39 percent oppose. Sixty-two percent of Democratic primary voters support the public option. |

| #5 You write that, Nimble, as if it were a choice. Specter's like a scorpion, his political acts are all reflexive, instinctual. And they'll keep him from running only if he's dead or on his deathbed. And I won't be comfortable about Toomey until he cracks 50%. Pennsylvania's always been a bit squirrelly about conservatives. Traditionally, we elect blustery Democrats or squish RINOs, what they used to call Rockefeller Republicans. Or, you know, Scrantons. |

| #3 Guess I'd better start now saving for a political donations fund. 2010 is going to be expensive - so many candidates to support against DemoncRat |

| #2 Specter will lose in the primary, if he chooses to run. |
