In the wake of the Sestak Jobsgate Affair, a new Rasmussen poll out today shows Republican Pat Toomey defeating Congressman Joe Sestak 45%-38%, a seven point lead.
Tellingly, the poll says three out of four Pennsylvanians have been following news accounts of the scandal. While Sestak had gained a 4-point bounce from his victory, briefly putting him ahead, that lead has now vanished and Toomey is once again out front.
