Could that really be correct, Specter at 71% approval among Democrats? Seems high, but I suppose that's good news for the Democratic party if they want to hold that seat.

Of course, dems love Specter, he ditched the GOP to join them, causing them a massive public relations embarrassment, it only makes sense

Sestak is only 13% behind. He is moving up pretty quickly.

Well, he hasn't exactly been the biggest ally to Obama's administration since his switch. I'll admit, the guy had a lot of cajones to venture into Lebanon, PA to face what I'm sure he knew would be a pretty seething crowd, given his party switch and their bloodlust for anything remotely associated with Obama at the moment.

"Well, he hasn't exactly been the biggest ally to Obama's administration since his switch"
Actually, according to Nate at 538, he's the most liberal voting senator at the moment!

Wow, didn't know that! I guess he figured out where his bread is buttered.
