A new poll indicates it's dead even in the battle for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat.

According to a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday, 43 percent of Pennsylvania voters back Rep. Joe Sestak, the Democratic nominee, with an equal number supporting former Rep. Joe Toomey, the Republican nominee, and 12 percent unsure.

Toomey held a 42 to 40 percent advantage in Quinnipiac's last poll, which was conducted in May.

Sestak, a former Navy admiral and current two-term congressman from southeast Pennsylvania, beat incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter in May's Democratic primary. Specter, a five-term senator, switched parties from Republican to Democrat in the spring of last year. At the time of the party switch, he cited the difficulty in winning the Republican primary against Toomey as a factor. Besides his service in Congress, Toomey is also the former head of the Club for Growth, a limited-government and anti-tax organization.

According to the poll, Democrats back Sestak 77 to 11 percent, with Republicans supporting Toomey 82 to 11 percent and Independents backing Toomey 44 to 35 percent. Toomey's advantage among Independents is down 7 points from the May survey.[/qoute]Well, he knocked off good old "I'm a Democrat Now" Spectre in the primary. I guess changing parties didn't do much good... But I'm not sure Sestak can pull it out...
