Sestak Grabs Lead in Pennsylvania
A new Muhlenberg College/Allentown Morning Call poll in Pennsylvania released shows Rep. Joe Sestak (D) leading Pat Toomey (R) for U.S. Senate, 44% to 41%, with 15% still undecided.
“It wouldn’t be the first time Sestak surged with the finish line in sight. In two previous elections, when political pundits had counted him out, Sestak came from behind with just weeks to go and emerged victorious.”
A PPP survey yesterday also found Sestak taking the lead.
Democrats Still Lead in California
A new SurveyUSA poll in California finds Sen. Barbara Boxer (D) leading challenger Carly Fiorina (R) by two points, 46% to 44%.
Interesting finding: Boxer nominally trails Fiorina among likely voters interviewed on their home telephones, but, among voters who do not have a home telephone and who were interviewed on their cellphone, Boxer leads 2:1.
In the race for governor, Jerry Brown (D) leads Meg Whitman (R) by seven points, 47% to 40%.
