The new Quinnipiac poll of Pennsylvania has some good news for Republican former Rep. Pat Toomey, with him edging out both Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter and Dem primary challenger Rep. Joe Sestak.
In a match-up with Specter, Toomey has 43% support to Specter’s 42%. These two guys have been enemies for years, since Toomey narrowly lost in his 2004 Republican primary challenge to the then-GOPer Specter — and his primary challenge this time around spurred Specter into switching to the Democrats.
Against Sestak, Toomey has 38% to Sestak’s 35%. Both results are within the ±3% margin of error.
Also, Specter leads Sestak in the Democratic primary, but is below the crucial 50% mark: Specter 44%, Sestak 25%.
