Specter Ahead In Leftist-Commissioned Poll
The Bulletin ^ | 8/18/2009 | Bradley Vasoli,

While a poll from Rasmussen Reports last week showed Republican former Congressman Pat Toomey beating Democratic Senator Arlen Specter in a reelection match-up, a poll for a leftist Web site shows different findings.

The far-left Daily Kos commissioned a Research 2000 poll which has Mr. Specter beating Mr. Toomey 45 percent to 40 percent. It also shows Mr. Specter beating U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, D-7th, of Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties in a primary match-up with a margin of 48 percent to 33 percent.

In a potential Toomey-Sestak general-election contest, Mr. Sestak has a one-percent edge over Mr. Toomey, the Research 2000 poll indicates.

Last Thursday, the widely respected Rasmussen poll had Mr. Toomey beating Arlen Specter 48 percent to 36 percent.

“The far-left Daily Kos commissioned a Research 2000 poll...”

Everything after that is a lie.

Maybe the Kos poll is just factoring in the anticipated vote from the planned fraud in Philly.

Is the Republican National Committee still supporting Arlen Specter?

Don't know about the RNC, but Specter has been endorsed and is supported by the ONE party in PA, the Republicrats. Getting $, party workers from "both" sides - as usual.

Hate to say it, but I believe Specter will win in PA. I’ve learned to become very jaded toward polls there and in NJ. The dem always seems to come out ahead. Those people like their pork w-a-a-a-y-y-y too much.
