“This poll is useless without also looking at a Toomey/Sestak matchup. That one is more worrisome.”
The poll did have the Toomey/Sestak match-up, Toomey wins 43% to 35%.
Sphincter will not get the dem nod, methinks. They telegraphed that when they removed his seniority when he bolted to the RATS. He is not a useful idiot any longer.

I wouldn’t write off Specter in the Dem primary just yet, but we should definitely keep tabs of how Toomey is doing against Sestak as well.
We’re going to win this race. Pat Toomey would be running for reelection now if it wasn’t for the RINOs and fellow-traveler conservatives that campaigned for Specter in the 2004 GOP primary, but revenge is a dish best served cold.
2010
Going Republican (6): Pennsylvania, Connecticut (!), Delaware (!), Nevada, Arkansas, Colorado.
Endangered Democrats (4): Oregon, N. Dakota, Indiana, Illinois (!!!)
Even pulling close will set up a GOP takeover in subsequent elections, due to the silly number of Democrats who won red-leaning states in 2006 and 2008:
2012 (Even if the US goes back to 2000-like voting patterns)
Endangered Democratic seats (8): Nebraska, Montana, N. Dakota, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, Flordia, West Virginia
Democratic seats which could get swept out in a GOP tide (3): Missouri, New Mexico, Michigan
2014 Endangered Democratic seats (6): Alaska, South Dakota, Arkansas, Louisiana, Virginia, North Carolina
Democratic seats which could get swept out in a GOP tide (4): Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, West Virginia
