PA-Sen: Sestak Takes the Lead

Research 2000 for Daily Kos (5/24-26, likely voters, 5/10-12 in parens):
Joe Sestak (D): 43 (40)
Pat Toomey (R): 40 (45)
Undecided: 17 (15)
(MoE: ±4%)

A nice post-primary bounce for Sestak here, whose favorables have risen to 48-30 (up from 39-26), compared to Toomey's 47-42. A key finding here is that Sestak draws Toomey to a 35-35 tie among independents, whose votes will be the key battleground in the fall. Fueling Sestak's rise is an uptick in support in Philly and its suburbs, and in Pittsburgh, where he now has a four-point lead (up from a six-point deficit a few weeks ago).

5. Toomey's really ill-suited for Pennsylvania.

His free-market absolutism does not fit--even Santorum was more savvy and pragmatic on economic issues. Toomey needs to move to a Sun Belt state and run for Senate there.
