The new Rasmussen poll of the Pennsylvania Senate race provides yet another data point that Democrat Joe Sestak is closing the gap against Republican Pat Toomey, with Toomey’s lead shrinking from ten points down to just four.
The numbers: Toomey 48%, Sestak 44%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4% margin of error. In the previous poll from less than two weeks ago, Toomey led by a much stronger 49%-39%.
The TPM Poll Average gives Toomey a lead of 46.1%-44.4%, with Sestak’s blue line rapidly approaching Toomey’s red one.
