And eventually, I will stop mispelling Specter’s name.

If Spector is only 7 points up on Luksik, then I have some serious skepticism about this poll. IF it is accurate, than this suggests a dramatic decrease in Spector’s popularity, but it looks a lot like an outlier.

My own sense of things is that it’s not any upsurge of popularity for Toomey so much as backlash against Specter and PA Dems.

I would expect that this bump for Toomey is temporary, though in a Specter matchup it might not be (which is to say, I would expect Toomey’s advantage to dissipate if any other Dem gets the nomination, but against Specter may hang on).

But it doesn’t look like Sestak is beating Toomey either. That could obviously be attributed to name recognition at this early stage, but it’s worth noting that other Democrats could also face a challenge with Toomey.

In other trial matchups Specter would defeat Luksik 47 – 40 percent, while Toomey would edge Sestak 39 – 35 percent.
