New Rasumssen Reports Poll - Toomey 45%, Sestak 38%

June 4, 2010

Rasmussen Reports releases a new poll today. Additional summary + breakdowns after the jump.

Election 2010: Pennsylvania Senate
Pennsylvania Senate: Toomey 45%, Sestak 38%

- 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 Toomey has some work remaining to unify his party following the primary battle.
