New poll puts Clinton 20 points ahead in Pennsylvania
Source: Raw Story

A new poll released Monday by the American Research Group gives Hillary Clinton a twenty point lead in Pennsylvania -- up from a tied race just a week ago.

A week ago, the same poll had Clinton tied with Barack Obama, each with 45 percent.

8. It's pulled from Rawstory ?
Doesn't site a link... It's a simple paragraph with no references at all to actual poll data...

Also noticed this blogger gets advertising dollars from Newsmax...

4. Impossible swing IMO
Enough to discount the poll entirely.

A 20 point swing in one week? Not a chance.

11. Funny, this is the third time I've read about this poll, on DU.
You're making an assumption, and you know what they say about assumptions.

15. Who Is "American Research Group" ??
Their website provides absolutely NO information about them.

Check this out:

Color me skeptical.

18. Obamabots are funny.
Anytime a poll comes out that shows Clinton ahead it is an "outlier", "old", "used out-dated polling methods", "right wing", "never heard of that firm", "that firm has a terrible record", and "they must not have talked to the people I know".

27. Actually this is the same poll the Clinton supporters were dissing just last week.
Saying it was an unreliable and not a legitimate poll.  It had Clinton and Obama tied at 45 % each.  But now that it has Clinton up, suddenly it is a reliable poll showing that Clinton has rebounded? That is pretty funny also you must admit.

29. I do admit that.
I think it is funny that supporters on both sides live or die by polls. They seem unwilling to let the actual voters vote. General Election polls at this point are meaningless if you look at history. Anyone saying Hillary or Barak has some advantage over McCain based on a poll knows nothing about the history of political polling in the last 50 years.

ARG could poll people on the color of an orange and still get it wrong.

20. Here is the actual situation:
As the poll-of-polls Pollster trend shows, Senator Clinton will be doing well to NET more than ten (10) delegates over Senator Obama out of the 188 delegates in PA:

21. Diebold must be gearing up -- the corporate whore must win, after all
They'd better watch out -- they're either going to have a peaceful revolution or a violent one. If they don't accept the will of the people this time, I'm afraid we have a strong possibility for a great deal of violence after the election.

30. What about the will of the other people?
Nationally, Barack and Hill have been mostly tied. That means only half of the people want your candidate.

You people are such bullies, you plan to cram him up all our collective asses, whether he is wanted or not. Not the American way; we'll play this out and see who comes up the winner.

34. Hillary is the bully who won't accept that the process is at an end. My candidate was Edwards
I worked my ass off for him. But the primary process is over. It's time for us to gather behind ONE nominee.

All your hopeless case is now is an impediment to a Democratic victory. All you're doing is helping McCain.
Pat yourself on the back when we lose in November.

24. Strange. The Pennsylvanians seem to be buying Hil's Fox News-style smears
that bodes ill for her in the GE, since once the primary's over all the hate radio/Cable "news" outlets that are carrying her water now will turn on her.

26. Ummmm...
All it took was a two second Google search to find out that the American Research Group, is nothing more than a band of right wing kooks.....Too easy!
The right wing will do ANYTHING to go up against Hillary. They know that Obama will mop the floor with McCain!!!!! MSM+GOP=Hillary
