PA-Sen Primary: Statistical Tie, Slight Edge To Specter

5/17/10
Pennsylvania Senate (Republican Primary)

Pat Toomey (Unchallenged)

Pennsylvania Senate (Democratic Primary)

Arlen Specter (inc) 42.5%
Joe Sestak 42.1%
Undecided/Other 15.4%

Specter +0.4%

Race News:

The Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary is shaping up to be a real nailbiter. Incumbent Arlen Specter is ahead according to the metric, despite a surge by Sestak which eventually stalled mid-week. We will not make a prediction on allocating undecideds and will allocate evenly, predicting Specter will narrowly pull this one out by around 1%.

The primary election is tomorrow, May 18.
