Pennsylvania’s race for United States Senate shows virtually no movement, with a plurality of those polled favoring Democrat Joe Sestak over Republican incumbent Pat Toomey, but with most of them undecided, according to a poll by the Robert Morris University Polling Institute.

The poll, sponsored by Trib Total Media, shows Sestak with 34.2 percent to 28.5 percent for Toomey. The poll has a margin of error of 4.5 percent.
