Rasmussen has him beating Congressman Joe Sestak (D-Pa7), who is challenging Specter for the Democratic nomination, by 5 points.
Rasmussen has Specter ahead of Sestak 48-37 in the primary contest, which is May 18.
A Quinnipiac University poll released March 2 had Specter beating Toomey by 7 points and Sestak by 24 points.
Toomey, a businessman who represented the Democrat-leaning 15th District in Congress from 1999 to 2005, is being challenged by activist Peg Luksik in the primary.
