A new Fox News poll of the Pennsylvania Senate race out this morning finds Republican former Rep. Pat Toomey ahead of Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak by eight points, 48%-40%.
The latest survey was performed by Pulse Opinion Research, a Rasmussen offshoot that uses an automated dialing system to conduct their polls. The firm’s September 11 survey showed Toomey up on Sestak by six, 47%-41%. Yesterday, two other polls came out on the race– a Times Leader poll found Sestak down four, 40%-36%, while a Municipoll survey showed a nine-point deficit for the Democrat, down 45%-36%.
The TPM Poll Average finds Toomey comfortably ahead in the contest, leading Sestak 46.7%-38.7%.
The latest survey’s margin of error is ±3.0 percentage points.
