PA-SEN: Democrat Bob Casey holds 5-point lead over Republican Dave McCormick in Pa's U.S. Senate race

Democratic incumbent Bob Casey holds a 5 percentage point lead over Republican challenger Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race, according to a new Philadelphia Inquirer/New York Times/Siena College poll.

About 50% of likely voters in the poll said they planned to vote for Casey, who is seeking a fourth term, and 45% for McCormick, an Army veteran and former hedge fund CEO.

Casey was ahead by 4 percentage points in the previous Inquirer/Times/Siena College poll, from early October, and he had a 9-point lead in the September poll.

Notably the new poll shows the presidential race tightening in Pennsylvania — with Vice President Kamala Harris now virtually tied with former President Donald Trump despite previously holding a 4-point lead — with the Senate race holding steady.

And the state is tied at Top of the ticket.
I don’t believe many voters would split their ticket Trump/Casey.
I live in PA… not buying it.

My point is I don’t believe the race is tied in PA between Kamala and TSF.

But the Casey race isn't proof of anything in regards to the Trump/Harris race. That was my point.

I think she wins, but a split ticket has looked like a possibility for months.
