Toomey Thrashes Specter in Latest Poll

August 13, 2009 Posted by John at 12:02 PM

"Uncomfortable town hall meetings are just the tip of the iceberg for Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter," Scott Rasmussen writes. In a Rasmussen survey released this morning, Republican Pat Toomey is clobbering Specter, 48-36. As recently as June, Specter had a substantial lead over Toomey in a Rasmussen poll.

Not coincidentally, I'm sure, Rasmussen also finds that for the first time in a long while, voters now prefer Republicans over Democrats on health care. Sometimes, being the "other guys" is good enough.

PAUL adds: Under these circumstances, I think you have to start wondering whether the Dems will nominate Specter.
