PA-SEN: McCormick narrows gap with Casey in latest poll

[RandySF]

Pennsylvania’s nationally watched U.S. Senate race is tightening, with Republican Dave McCormick now just 4 percentage points behind Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey, according to a new poll by The Inquirer, The New York Times, and Siena College.

About 48% of respondents said they supported Casey, who is seeking a fourth term, while 44% backed McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO. The survey was of 857 likely Pennsylvania voters reached by phone between Oct. 7 and Oct. 10. The margin of error was 3.3%.

Two weeks before that, Casey was leading McCormick 49% to 40% in a similar survey conducted by The Inquirer, The Times, and Siena College from Sept. 11 to Sept. 16. (Unlike the September poll, the new survey included third-party candidates, who polled at less than 1%.)

Casey, whose father was governor and is well-known to Pennsylvania voters, has led in surveys throughout the race. But he has never consistently polled above 50%, leaving the door open for McCormick — who is making only his second run for office — to make up ground as undecided voters become more familiar with him.

2. That would be correct.

Yeah like Dr Oz was closing the gap. Casey is a real Pennsylvanian.

4. No he won't

I think he will win but not 55/45. If he were about to do that he would be polling above 50 now and he isn't.
