HARRISBURG — A new poll in Pennsylvania's hotly contested race for U.S. Senate shows that Democrat Joe Sestak has apparently wiped out Republican Pat Toomey's lead.

The Muhlenberg College/Allentown Morning Call poll released today shows Sestak supported by 44 percent of likely voters to Toomey's 41 percent. The numbers include people who are leaning toward voting for a candidate but haven't entirely made up their minds.

Fifteen percent remain undecided two weeks before the election.

Independent polls in recent weeks showed Toomey with a slight lead. Toomey and Sestak are vying to replace five-term Sen. Arlen Specter, whom Sestak beat in the May primary.

The telephone poll of 403 Pennsylvanians deemed likely to vote was conducted during the four days ending Tuesday.

The sampling error margin is plus or minus 5 percentage points.
