The new Reuters/Ipsos poll of the Pennsylvania Senate race shows a tie between Republican Pat Toomey and Democrat Joe Sestak, the latter of whom has shown strong momentum at closing the gap in some recent polls.
The poll has Toomey and Sestak at 46%-46%. The survey of likely voters has a ±4.9% margin of error. In the previous Reuters/Ipsos poll from all the way back in late August, Toomey led by 47%-37%.
The TPM Poll Average gives Toomey a narrowing lead of just 45.9%-45.1%.
