Former congressman Pat Toomey, the Republican, leads liberal darling Democrat Congressman Joe Sestak by seven points in the race to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate according to the Rasmussen poll released June 4. Two weeks ago, Rasmussen had Sestak up by four following his widely publicized primary win over party-endorsed incumbent Arlen Specter in the Democratic primary race, making it the first time Sestak led at the start of a race in which he was not running as the incumbent.
Sestak represents the 7th District of Pennsylvania.
Toomey represented the 15th District from 1999 to 2005.
