The Pittsburg Tribune-Review is a right wing paper owned by Bill Clinton hater and Mellon fortune inheiritor (made his money the old fashioned way, his anscestors screwed working people and he inheirited), Richard Mellon Scaife. So I would not consider this poll to be biased for Sestak. According to a Susquehanna Polling & Research survey conducted for the Tribune-Review:
The poll found Toomey leading Sestak 45 percent to 42 percent, with a 3.5 percentage point margin of error.
Middle ground up for grabs in Senate race
The poll surveyed 800 likely voters from Sept. 23 to 26.
Among each candidate's supporters, a nearly equal percentage said they're "definitely" voting for their chosen candidate -- a measure of how loyal a candidate's support is. Thirty-one percent of Toomey supporters and 30 percent of Sestak's said they're locked onto their candidate.
"The fact that they're both tied on intensity ... says to me that this race looks tight," Lee said.

Toomey leads among voters in the southwest, northeast and traditional Republican strongholds in the middle of the state. Sestak leads in Allegheny County, Philadelphia and the northwest. The vote-rich "collar" counties around Philadelphia -- where both became known during their congressional careers -- split evenly, with each candidate getting 45 percent support.

"This is still a very Democratic state," Lee said. He noted that former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum, who first won his Senate seat during the Republican wave of 1994, "won this state by just 2.5 percentage points. We are not talking about huge margins here in this (2010) race."

Toomey is worth defeating:
"We’ve tried the Toomey-Bush approach of tax breaks for the wealthiest few at the expense of working families. The result was record debt and stymied job growth," Sestak campaign spokesman Jonathon Dworkin said in a statement announcing the ad. "But Congressman Toomey wants to go back to tax breaks for the very wealthy at the expense of average Pennsylvanians. Incredibly, his plans would eliminate corporate taxes and even raise middle class taxes. Pennsylvania just can’t afford Wall Street’s Congressman"
Wall Street's Top Lobbyist:
Democrats are coming home and that means that trouble is brewing for Tea Party candidates.
We can still save a Democratic majority Congress and if we do it will destroy the Republicans. This is their high point. The economy will improve (is slowly improving) and by Nov. 2012, we will make up losses in Congress and re-elect President Obama. We still will have to fight for progressive outcomes, but we have a chance with Dems and no chance at all with Republicans.
