Toomey, McGinty are in dead heat WASHINGTON — A new poll of Pennsylvania voters found Democrat Hillary Clinton opening up a 10 percentage point lead over Republican Donald Trump, but a dead heat in the state’s critical U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Pat Toomey and Democrat Katie McGinty.The Monmouth University Poll released Tuesday found Clinton with 50 percent support among likely Pennsylvania voters compared to 40 percent for Trump, 5 percent for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 2 percent for the Green Party’s Jill Stein. That’s similar to the 8 point lead Monmouth found for Clinton in late August, and suggests little effect from what many saw as a disastrous last week for Trump.But in the Senate race the poll found Toomey and McGinty each garnering 46 percent support, the poll found. In August the survey had McGinty with a 4 percentage point lead.The poll, conducted from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, surveyed 402 likely Pennsylvania voters and has a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points. It comes as the campaigns enter their final five weeks and the Clinton and Trump camps blitz Pennsylvania, a state seen as pivotal in the contests for control of the White House and Senate.
