I polled 500 Democrats and 100 Republicans and it looks like the Democrats will win 400 seats in the House.

I think it will do the opposite for TP motivation. Scared me enough to pull out my checkbook again. I would hang myself if I were stuck with BOTH Casey and Sleazestak. That would be mortifying.

Folks,

Let us face it. Elections in PA is getting tighter. It is also visible from the governor’s election. It does not mean that, all democrats will come to precincts to cast their ballot. Right now, the discussion should be all about turnout. I have already done the early polling in NC and I am planning to atleast take few people to the polls before election day.

Toomey wins this race by seven. This will not be a late nighter.

I know nothing about Muhlenberg’s rep for polling, but don’t didmiss college polls out of hand. In NY and Conn three relatively small colleges make themelves a lot of money with their polling. Marist, Siena, and Quinnippiac do major business polling research and are paid well for it.Their political polls are well regarded, and are in demand by media far afield from NY Conn. This poll may well be wrong but if Muhlenberg is like Marist et al, it’s not deliberate. To be deliberately an outlier weakens your cred and hurts your pocketbook.

Did anyone see the Sleezeball Muhlenberg Professor that is responsible for this alleged poll? He was just on a local Reading Station looking like he hadn’t shaved in days! The guy is on quite bait and is a Zillion Miles to the Left of OBOZO AND WILLIAM AYERS! This is his moment of Infamy along with the Horrid Morning Call which is absolutely terrible! The only good part of the Morning Trash is the Obituaries! That said, We gotta be expecting massive Demorat Voter Fraud Statewide and Especially in Rendell’s Hell Hole! Filthedelphia!

Sleezetak has been running wall to wall advertising tying Pat Toomey to free trade deals with China, privatizing social security and the usual “scare the seniors” crap.

> the usual “scare the seniors” crap.

No rational voter who has been paying attention could be more scared of a Republican than a DemonRAT after what has transpired since 2006.

Ergo, if voters are becoming more afraid of the Republican candidate after hearing the spewage of the known liar DemonRAT who was a first-order contributor to the hideous mess in which this nation finds itself today, then they must be inattentive or fickle at the least.

They will get the government they deserve for their lack of attention.

The poll is crap. A minuscule sample size. Wait for the next Rasmussen.

In a related story, a poll of "Extremely-Local-Freepers" with names starting with "T" shows that Democrats will never receive another vote throughout the rest of the century.

Lots of weirdness in that poll.

90% of respondents are over 40!

This poll is the same poll that said Sestack would beat Specter. I’m hearing Toomey’s own internals have him down too. I hope these debates bumps him up. He was a great congressman, we definitely need him in the senate.

Check the other polls in the race in the past 3 months. They have been static with Toomey leading on the average of 7-8 points and getting close to 50% in the past few Ras polls. Now we have a 12-14 pt. swing in just one week. Too much special sauce in that one for me.

Also, compare the Toomey polls to the Corbett (R for Gov.) polls (RCP is a good reference point). Corbett has been doing a bit better than Toomey, with an average 10 pt. advantage these past few months. There’s no indication that Corbett-Onorato has tightened up, so we are to believe that Corbet wins by 10 pts. and then PA voters turn around and vote for Sestak by 5 pts>? Doesn’t pass the smell test.

Stick with Ras. and the consistent picture - disregard this propaganda.

I take nothing for granted in PA. And no, Toomey is not losing. Junk polls in and junk polls out.

I should have tempered my worry with the source. The Morning Call is terrible. %90 ads/ %10 Lib propaganda.
