MSNBC: Hillary leading Trump 60% to 40% in Philly suburbs

[RandySF]

Trump could kiss PA goodbye with those numbers.

1. AWESOME!

[BumRushDaShow]

2. He can kiss it goodbye with Philly votes alone

We usually provide the 300,000 - 400,000 vote margin for D candidates over Rs at the state level (at least during presidential election years).

3. He absolutely has to have PA

He needs to pull a lot of other rabbits out of his hat but without PA he stands no chance.

11. How bad is the electoral map for the GOP

that Trump must win Pennsylvania...a state the GOP has been unable to win in decades.

4. Hope that includes Chester Co. too

8. Here's two Chesco people solidly on board for HC. As we are originally from Delco, I doubt

she will do well there. Sure hope I'm wrong about it.

5. I thought it was 80-20.

I seriously thought I saw that today.

[RandySF]

6. You might be correct

[RandySF]

7. Just checked

Her 80% is in Philly proper. But still, wow.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Obama got 85% from Philly (metro) in 2012

(83% in 2008)

So shouldn't be a problem for Hillary.



Note that the red areas are generally sparsely populated too.

10. If they hold, he won't win PA. nt

12. Can you post a link to that poll/story?

I'd like to share it on FB and elsewhere

13. This doesn't say MSNBC but the poll sounds the same

16. Thanks

14. In 2004 and 2008, suburbs like these were dubbed the "soccer mom" burbs.

They tend to care about security first, and jobs a very close second.

That Hillary leads by 20 points in these areas, means they feel Hillary is a much better candidate to keep them safe and help create jobs

15. I have read that he is similarly losing traditionally Republican areas of suburban Detroit.

Does not bode well for the toupeed fucktrumpet.

[Ace Rothstein]

18. Because he is losing the educated white vote.

That's where most of these people live.

[Still In Wisconsin]

19. It's the same in suburban Milwaukee...

reliably Republican white-collar conservatives are not on the Trump bandwagon at all.

[tallahasseedem]

17. Philadelphia will win her the state...

If she locks up the suburbs, it is indeed over. That's why they worked so hard to change the way electoral votes were allocated in 2012. With Trump polling at 0% among AA in Philly, PA a goner for him.

[DemonGoddess]

20. K&R!

Great news!

[DemocraticSocialist8]

21. I think she wins PA, NH, CO, VA and WI easily

The true toss-ups will be NV, NC, IA, OH and FL. Trump really can't afford to lose any of these states.
