Toomey looks to face formidable challenge in 2016


Raleigh, N.C. Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey is on track for another tight
race after PPPs first Pennsylvania poll of 2015 finds him with low support and a host of
capable Democratic challengers.
Two months after the sound defeat of fellow Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, the first-term
senators approval rating has dropped to 28%, down three points from PPPs last
Pennsylvania poll in June. Women and independent voters are among the most
significant critics of the former Wall Street banker, tracking at 22% approval each.
Toomey fails to capture majority support from his base constituencyjust 39% of
Republicans and 44% of very conservative voters approve of his job performance to date.
Former two-term Governor Ed Rendell leads the pack of potential Democratic
challengers, besting Toomey 44-41 in a hypothetical matchup. Rendell owns a substantial
17-point advantage with Independents, and leads with both men and women (+1 and +6,
respectively). Should Rendell decide to enter the race, he would start with a decided
name recognition advantage over Toomey, 85-63.
Toomeys 2010 opponent Joe Sestak is the next closest challenger. Toomey eked out a
two-point victory in 2010, and would again defeat Sestak 40-36 if an election were held
today. Sestak has been hailed early on as the favorite for the Democratic nomination, but
the former two-term Congressman only polls 40% name recognition with 19% support.
MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews, who has hinted at a run in the past, also trails Toomey
by four points (42-38). Attorney General Kathleen Kane lags behind Toomey by six
points, but polls one point ahead of the Senator in name recognition.
Early indications are that Pennsylvania will have one of the most hard fought Senate
races in the country next year, said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling.
Pat Toomey hasnt made a very strong impression on voters one way or another in his
first four years in the Senate, and that leaves him pretty vulnerable if the Democrats are
able to land a strong candidate.
PPP surveyed 1,042 registered voters from January 15th to 18th. The margin of error for the survey
is +/- 3.0%. 80% of interviews for the poll were conducted over the phone with 20% interviewed
over the internet to reach respondents who dont have landline telephones.
