Poll: Clinton leads Trump by 7 in Pennsylvania
By STEVEN SHEPARD 10/27/16 08:36 AM EDT

Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, according to a new poll out Thursday that shows Trump’s path to an Electoral College majority remains a tight-rope walk.

The Siena College poll, conducted for The New York Times’ "Upshot" data-journalism microsite, shows Clinton leading Trump, 46 percent to 39 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson is at 6 percent, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein is at 3 percent. A combined 7 percent of likely voters prefer another candidate, won’t vote for the top of the ticket or are undecided.

1. Excellent. And our buses haven't even begun to

arrive yet!

[workinclasszero]

2. LOL

[LisaL]

3. Dead people voting six time should increase the margin even further, I would think.

Since most dead vote for democrats.

[saltpoint]

4. Yep. We're well-positioned there in

Pennsylvania!

10. We're also colluding with republican governors and election officials to rig it, so it's in the bag

13. The Voter Fraud Express leaves for Pennsylvania tomorrow

Pets, dead people, and illegal extraterrestrial aliens welcome. The bus is almost full, but we may supplement it with taco trucks if there's enough interest.

15. Very good plan. I wish more of us could

be on board. Probably a great party all around.

Bon voyage!

5. Trump threatened early on that

if he loses in Pennsylvania it would be because the Clinton-Kaine campaign cheated.

These percentages would suggest that Trump may lose Pennsylvania because voters there sense that he would be a disaster for their quality of life and prefer the far more seasoned and experienced blue ticket to lead the nation.

Am hoping the rising blue tide in Pennsylvania will lift Katie McGinty into the U.S. Senate. Toomey has been bad news from the word 'go.'

6. Sure if (when) Drumpf loses

He and his deplorables will be screaming rigged.

F them!

[saltpoint]

7. Yep. They seem to be in a really foul mood

even before this cycle began, and it's probably not going to get much better any time soon.

They're a volatile bunch.

8. I tell you what

The dammed republican party better hope that their insane white power base doesn't carry through with all the threats of violence they have been promising if Hillary wins.

[saltpoint]

9. They allow themselves to be worked into

a frenzy by a blowhard like Trump.

Agree -- the threat of violence is starting to come out even more now. Former Congressman Joe Walsh's going to be grabbing his musket, he says, if Clinton-Kaine win. It's temper-tantrum behavior, similar to a 2-year old who somehow owns a musket.

A lot of people say Trump followers' behavior is like a 12-year old's, but I think that's way too charitable. I think the way 2-year olds throw temper-tantrums and have melt-downs is the closest age comparison.

There are a lot of people still fighting the Civil War. They drive around the country with Confederate flags on their trucks, etc. They've been told their side lost (it was in a few of the papers), but they fight on. I think some of Trump's followers fall into this group.

11. That's how come the PA repukes sued to legalize voter intimidation

in Federal court by hiding behind the euphemism of "poll monitoring". Currently, in Pennsylvania, out-of-country interference with voting rights is a felony punishable by a maximum of 7 years in prison.
I don't think they have a prayer with this one in Federal court, since voter intimidation is a Federal crime.

[saltpoint]

12. Have to agree. It's an uphill climb,

especially if even a casual demographic survey shows that voters rejected their candidates in several districts.

Their lawyers may even suggest that they abandon the quest.

[democrattotheend]

14. Not to mention that Pennsylvania hasn't gone Republican for president in 28 years

1988 was the last time a Republican won Pennsylvania in a presidential election.

[saltpoint]

16. Good point. Trump's internal polling

people must have been dipping into the Trump vodka when they told him Pennsylvania was a likely flip.
