U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter leads Democratic primary challenger U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak and Republican Pat Toomey in the race for Mr. Specter's seat, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released this morning. Mr. Specter leads Mr. Sestak, 53-29 percent in the primary race, and Mr. Toomey 49-42 percent in a general election matchup, up from a 44-44 percent tie Dec. 18.

Specter is still under 50% but doing better.

This is soooo like the dems to find a ray of sunshine 1000 ft under water. ;-)

“Senility and National Bankruptcy is leading in the PA Senate race”.

[ImpBill]

If the folks in PA return old Scottish Law to D.C. again they will indeed take the prize for the dumbest folk in the Republic!

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

In the daily struggle to see light in the darkness that is threatening to extinguish the flame of freedom that has characterized the United States, this news may take the prize as today’s biggest wet blanket.

As the worm squirms.

Specter has been campaigning heavily in the primary, he’s been spending a lot of time and money, this is not surprising. Also, I find it interesting that 1 week ago Franklin and Marshall had Toomey +10 over Snarlen, and 2 weeks ago Rasmussen had Toomey +9 over Specter.

It the forth time this poll been posted.

The Quinninpec poll is owned and operated by
Maurice Carroll , a huge lefty.
Maurice was former hard left reporter at the NY Slimes and NY Daily Commie news.
Maurice runs a Push Poll operation for the Dem party.
Believe very little he spits out.

"It the forth time this poll been posted."

I'm sorry. I was not aware of this being published before. This story just came out today and is on PG's breaking news section.

[ncalburt]

NO biggie.

[Hans]

Senator Spector must survive! He is the #1 leader of the creepies in Congress, land of the undead, land of the living corpses.

[OrioleFan]

You have got to be kidding me. Either the poll is bogus and is being used to push the agenda, or the people of Pennsylvania are the biggest morons on earth. I can't believe the later, but I do believe the former.

Let me qualify this.

• What is the sample size?
• What are demographics (more properly perceived number of Democrats vs Republicans in the state)?
• How many times was the question rephrased before the final wording was decided on?
• Who paid for the poll?

[tflabo]

Ha. This from the state who ditched the honorable Sen Santorum for the blockhead fraud Casey who claims pro life but votes like an abortionist, Certainly we can rely on the voters of Pa. To choose wisely. /sc

[karnage]

No no no...

[Renegade]

This poll is bogus. Someone is cooking the numbers. Spinchter is toast in PA.

[Hugin]

I dinna ken how they could be so daft!

[Energizer45678]

Well, I am from PA. and we elected Shapp, Casey, Rendell, and Sphincter. How dumb are the folks here?.... pretty dumb!

[Kenny Bunk]

Specter is using magic bullets to finish off opponents.

In fact, in certain parts of Philly, Ed Rendell confidently predicts 102-3% turnout ... more if the weather is good.

[Dawgreg]

Why am I not suprised? They reelected Murtha didn’t they? Is there sumpin’ in the water up there?

[PA Engineer]

From February 22 – 28, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,452 Pennsylvania voters, .... The survey includes 649 Democrats,

Registered voters (not likely) with a sampling off 44.7% Democrat. This is about right for Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is the land of the elderly "Roosevelt" voter and union thug.
