PHILADELPHIA—Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7) sounded upbeat Wednesday night about the latest Rasmussen poll that showed him gaining on Senator Arlen Specter. The survey showed him trailing Specter by 13 points, a gap six points narrower than in June.

“I guess anything is an improvement,” he told pa2010.com after a long town-hall style meeting on health care ended here. “Those are good poll numbers—better than before.

    The same poll showed Toomey beating Sestak 43% to 35%.

    This is a reversal from Rasmussen June that had it Sestak 41% Toomey 35%.

    That’s a +6 to -8 swing against Sestak.

    What a maroon!
