Ahead of Tuesday's elections in Pennsylvania, final polling indicates both the Democratic primary for Senate and the special election in the 12th District are too close to call.
First, Public Policy Polling (D) has numbers on special election.

PPP found that in this district, Sestak led Specter 44-35.
Now, a look at the final Muhlenberg tracking poll.
