Senate Polls Diverge

A new Rasmussen poll on the U.S. Senate race shows Democrat Bob Casey with a 52%-37% lead with about four months left in the campaign. A Zogby poll however, shows a closer contest, 48%-41%. Whether incumbent Rick Santorum is making up ground or not seems to be the question. Considering his continued bizarre behavior I doubt that would be the case. On the other hand Mr. Casey has been all but invisible. I'm not sure you can run for such a high profile seat as this one without doing any voter contact. Perhaps the Zogby poll is illustrating voter discontent about not knowing much about the Democratic candidate.

Only time will tell which poll is more accurate.
