Congressman Joe Sestak’s post-primary bounce appears to over, and he now trails Republican rival Pat Toomey by seven points in the U.S. Senate contest in Pennsylvania.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Pennsylvania shows Toomey with 45% support, while Sestak earns 38%. Five percent (5%) prefer another candidate in the race, and 12% are undecided.
Two weeks ago, just after his widely covered primary victory over longtime Senator Arlen Specter, Sestak posted a modest four-point lead lead over Toomey.
Prior to the primary, however, Toomey tended to enjoy modest leads over Sestak.
The current polling shows that 19% of Democratic voters are undecided or prefer some other candidate. Only 7% of Republicans fall into this category. That suggests Sestak has some work remaining to unify his party following the primary battle.
-snip-
Nearly three-out-of-four voters in the state say they have been following news stories about the secret Obama White House job offer to Sestak in hopes that he would drop his primary challenge of Specter, and 52% say that offer is at least somewhat important in terms of how they will vote. Forty-one percent (41%) view the job offer as unimportant. This includes 29% for whom it is Very Important and 20% who say it’s Not At All Important.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of those who say the offer is Very Important to their vote prefer Toomey. Sixty-one percent (61%) of voters who regard it as Not At All Important favor Sestak.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of all the state’s voters favor repeal of the national health care bill that Sestak voted for as a member of the House, while 38% oppose repeal. This is slightly lower than support for repeal nationally.

Toomey earns 81% support from those who Strongly Favor repeal. Sestak picks up 80% of the vote of the smaller group that is Strongly Opposed
Well, it seems as though the “Obama Magic” continues to work in Pennsy.
Gosh, how DOES he do it!
Thank goodness Sestak has other job opportunities awaiting him.
This counters the depression I feel when I see the Connecticut polls. At least Pennsylvanians don’t seem to be stuck on stupid.
But conservatives need to take real care because the Dems know November means curtains and will do everything, including sinking the economy into Hell in order to scare people into more government welfare, before then.
Conservatives in power NOW need to stand strong, not lick their chops about potential future victory. And I do mean cap n’ trade.
Pressure needs to be put on the GOP NOW. Steele needs to put up or GET OUT NOW, or it will be Pyrrhic victory this fall.

I’m happy to see this too but as for CT. I don’t see how anyone could vote for Blumenthal or McMahon!
“At least Pennsylvanians don’t seem to be stuck on stupid.”
Well, we shall see. (Trying hard not to be too cynical here!)
Not enough point seperation, especially with this much time before elections. RATS are good at not rolling over - of course they will resort to votor fraud, but none the less will skinny up that lead.
Go Pat. We need some leadership in this state and in government.
Put this guy out once and for all. Let him go back to working with Sandy Berger and Bill Clinton. He can always make a living selling us down the river to China like they do. He has NO place holding public office.
........Sestak will have my Vote on Wednesday 3 November.........
Why has no reporter asked Sestak recently if he was offered the Sec. of Navy job? Earlier Sestak refused to answer that question. Right now he is hoping that the phony account of his meeting with Bill Clinton somehow will make everything work out. But have you noticed that Clinton has NEVER commented on that meeting? In fact, the one time he was asked, he REFUSED to answer.
“I did not offer than man, Mr. Sestak a job. Not once...”
From what I understand, all democrats voting on Wednesday will be allied to legally vote up to three times, provided they pay a poll tax and pass a voter civics exam.
