(R)asmussen moves PA senate race from "solid republican" to "toss-up"

[WI_DEM]

Three recent polls have shown Sestak tied or ahead, so of course here come (R)asmussen with one showing Toomey ahead by 4, but, on the other hand, even they show Sestak gaining ground. In two-weeks Sestak gained 5-points while Toomey lost a point:

Republican Pat Toomey now holds just a four-point lead over Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak in the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania. It’s the closest the contest has been since May.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Pennsylvania shows Toomey earning 48% support to Sestak’s 44%. One percent (1%) like another candidate in the race, and seven percent (7%) remain undecided with less than two weeks until Election Day. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The race now moves from Solid Republican to a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings. Less than two weeks ago, Toomey held a 10-point lead, 49% to 39%. The tightening of the race comes from an increase in support for Sestak while Toomey’s support remains steady.

2. It's official then. At the least the race must lean Democratic.

If it were actually a toss-up Rassy would say it leans Republican.
