Pennsylvania Senate race a dead heat

Posted

PENNSYLVANIA — The race between Republican incumbent Pat Toomey and Democratic challenger Katie McGinty is tied, with each getting 42% of the vote according to a poll released on October 8 by CBS/YouGov.

In the wake of the video showing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump making sexually aggressive and lewd remarks about women, Toomey has condemned Trump’s words and pointed out that he never endorsed Trump. McGinty meanwhile has attacked Toomey for not taking a more aggressive stand against the controversial candidate. Analysts have said that Trump’s behavior may pursuade some Republicans to stay home on Election Day.

In the presidential contest, Trump was once nearly tied with Democrat Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, but now, according to the CBS News/YouGov poll, Clinton is ahead, with 48% of likely voters as opposed to 40% for Trump, 4% for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2% for Jill Stein of the Green Party.
