Two new polls of Pennsylvania released today reveal that the Democratic candidate is leading by 9-10 points, but most telling is that Clinton is being powered by white women who are rejecting Trumps candidacy.
After a Franklin and Marshall College poll showed Hillary Clinton leading Pennsylvania by nine points, a Monmouth University poll revealed that Clinton is leading the state by ten. Clinton has crossed the important fifty percent support threshold and now leads Trump 50%-40% with 5% support for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and 2% for the Green Partys Jill Stein.
According to Monmouth University, The Republican nominees support has slipped among white voters in the Keystone State, who are now divided 46% for Clinton and 45% for Trump. In August, they gave Trump a 48% to 39% edge. This is mainly driven by a swing among white women who currently support Clinton by a 55% to 35% margin. Just over a month ago, they were divided at 46% for Clinton and 45% for Trump. White men continue to back Trump 57% to 35% for Clinton compared with 50% to 32% in late August.

... voting for tRump if someone paid them.
It's like they're targeting their polls for some people who'll support the GOP candidate if she was a wet rock.

Donald has to win PA, period. He's been priming his loony faithful there to intimidate voters at the polls. Since he can't win there second best thing for him is chaos.

Disruption of voting bothers me more than anything else at this point.
