10:08 AM, Oct 26, 2012 • By MICHAEL WARRENDemocratic senator Bob Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania only leads his Republican opponent, Tom Smith, by one point, according to a new poll from Rasmussen. Of the 500 likely voters polled, 46 percent support Casey while 45 percent support Smith.

But the incumbent Democrat has struggled to poll over 50 percent, and several firms have found Casey leading Smith by only single digits, including a Quinnipiac poll with Smith trailing Casey by three points.
