Arlen Specter slips in the polls

Consider this the schadenfreude post of the day.
Senator Arlen Specter leads Congressman Joe Sestak by 13 percentage points in an early look at the 2010 Democratic Senatorial Primary in Pennsylvania. In June, Specter had a 19-point lead.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows Specter attracting 47% of the vote while Sestak earns 34%. In June, Specter posted a 51% to 32% lead.

Among voters who favor the congressional health care plan, Specter leads 55% to 26%. However, among those who oppose the plan, Sestak leads 61% to 25%.

Specter is coming to learn that there is no requirement that voters can't consider him an opportunistic, self-serving, prick.
