A new Susquehanna poll confirms a lot of what we've been seeing lately: in the Senate race, general bad news for Specter, a dead heat b/w Specter and Toomey, Specter leading Sestak (but with a lot of undecideds), and in the GOP Guv race, a big lead by Corbett over Gerlach.

From the full results, which are here:

Q5. Do you think Arlen Specter has done his job as United States Senator well enough to deserve reelection, or do you think it's time to give a new person a chance?
1. Reelect 217 31%

3. Undecided 71 10%
