Race for U.S. Senate in Pa. Tightens

Support for Dave McCormick has grown since the last Philadelphia Inquirer/New York Times/Siena College poll in September, and the share of voters supporting Bob Casey has slightly softened. Casey’s lead is now within the margin of error, shown shaded below, which is +/- 3.3 percentage points for each candidate.

Note: Questions in the two earlier polls asked whom voters supported in a two-candidate race. Choices in this month's poll included two third-party candidates, whose combined share was 0.2%.
