(August 10th poll had Toomey +10 (47-37) and Corbett +15 (49-34).)

Today's poll says Corbett +6 (49-43) as well

Sample size is 600.  400 people identify themselves as LV.
Of the LV, the split is R+1 (46-45).
Of the RV, the split is D+10 (50-40)..
LV split 46-46.
RV go for Sestak at a 4 point clip (46-42).
Independents go for Sestak 31-23.
LV go for Corbett 49-43.
RV go for Onorato 46-43.
Independents are split 33-33 for both Gov cand's.

There is no way to read the Indy's accurately unless a separate poll of 300-500 PA indies is conducted. Otherwise with sub 10% intenrals you are talking 30-50 people tops.

Just as accurate would be to look at indies in other places and try to extrapolate some kind of trend factoring in any natural lean among those PA indies that have historically been exhibited over the years.

Independents going for Sestak by an eight point margin? Ok, guys, thank you.

You can't get too excited. Sestak clearly isn't leading among Independents, let alone leading by eight. The poll is questionable.

The tracker is questionable too. It's especially dangerous to get caught up in crosstabs. I look forward to seeing further polling here.

Sure. I think Quinnipiac had it right. It's probably a four to six point lead for Toomey.
