The two latest polls on the primary battle between Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter and Rep. Joe Sestak for the Democratic senate nomination has them statistically tied, with just two points separating them.

A Daily Kos/Research 2000 survey conducted May 10-12 had Sestak ahead 45 percent to 43 percent with 12 percent undecided.

A Muhlenberg Colle/Daily Call poll conducted May 10-13 had Specter ahead 45 percent to 43 percent with 12 percent undecided.

In general election match-ups, former Republican Rep. Pat Toomey leads Specter 49 percent to 41 percent, and runs ahead of Sestak by 45 percent to 40 percent.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
