On the heels of a Times Leader poll showing Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee Joe Sestak trailing Republican former Rep. Pat Toomey by four, a new survey from Municipoll shows Sestak down by nine.
The latest survey, conducted on behalf of PoliticsPA, finds Toomey ahead 45%-36%. Since this is the first time Municipoll has surveyed the contest, there are no results for direct comparison. The latest survey is more in line with other recent polls of the race, including Rasmussen’s September 13 poll that had the Republican up eight, 49%-41% and a September 11 Fox poll that showed Sestak down six-points, 47%-41%.
The latest survey’s margin of error is ±3.24 percentage points.
