Specter surge?

POSTED: Friday, March 12, 2010, 5:52 PM

A new Research 2000 poll out today has Sen. Arlen Specter — the subject, of course, of this week's cover story — widening his leads against both Joe Sestak in the primary and Pat Toomey in the general. Caveat: This is a Daily Kos poll, which as Nate Silver at 538.com writes, has a decidedly Dem lean. Still, it supports the recent Q poll that came out and also has Specter ahead. Toomey, of course, has plenty of time to bridge the gap. Joe Sestak, Specter's primary opponent, does not. Being down 20 with two months to go — has anyone see Sestak on TV in Philly, the state's largest Dem base? I haven't — isn't a good omen for him.
