Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 5/24-26. Likely voters. MoE 4% (5/10-12 results)
Joe Sestak (D) 43 (40)
Pat Toomey (R) 40 (45)
That's quite the primary victory bounce, +8 points. Where did the numbers shift?
Sestak Toomey
Democrats: 76 (73) 8 (11)
Republicans: 6 (4) 82 (84)
Independents: 35 (30) 35 (44)
Sestak enjoyed a net gain of +6 among Democrats, +4 among Republicans, and +14 among Independents. That'll do the trick.
For Toomey, the news isn't better when looking at the two candidate's favorabilities:
Favorable/Unfavorable
Sestak 48/30 (39/26)
Toomey 47/42 (45/40)
They both gained +5 on 'unfavorable' but Toomey started higher and has less room for growth. Hmmm.
