PaSen race: Toomey leads, job offer scandal takes air out of Sestak bounce

Shortly after his victory over the duplicitous Sen. Arlen Specter in last month's Pennsylvania Senate Democratic Primary, Rep. Joe Sestak enjoyed a four point poll lead over his Republican counterpart, former Rep. Pat Toomey.

Toomey had been leading Specter and Sestak in pre-primary hypothetical match-ups. But after the story of the job offer given to Sestak by the White House so Specter could run unopposed in the primary was reignited--the bounce apparently has gone flat. Rasmussen Reports released a new poll this morning, Toomey is back on top, with a 45 percent to 38 percent lead over Sestak.
