After an initial post-primary bounce, Joe Sestak, now linked strongly to the Obama White House, has poll numbers dropping off rapidly. And make no mistake, his numbers are not only reflective of voter distrust of Sestak - but Obama as well, a clear indicator of passive-aggressive White Guilt sentiment...

Sestak has another problem: independent voters. Toomey gets 50% of them, compared to an anemic 16% for Sestak, with 24% undecided (10% want another candidate). Among unaffiliated voters, Sestak has a -29 favorability rating (25/54), so hes unlikely to do much better as the undecideds split when the election draws near. He has room to pick up Democrats, but thats also a measure of his weakness. He currently only get 65% of his own party (Toomey gets 77% of Republicans), which could be a harbinger of a light Democratic turnout in the general election thanks to a lack of enthusiasm for their candidate.
