Pennsylvanias 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.

(26,628 posts)Yeah like Dr Oz was closing the gap. Casey is a real Pennsylvanian.
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.
