A sitting president at 47% is in trouble. If the undecideds break as they normally do, Romney is looking at a 52%/48% win. That should be enough even to counter the 1% or so the democrats usually get from Philly fraud, (one Philly precinct had 119% turnout in 2008)

[SMCC1]

Meanwhile dispatch poll shows O-50 to R-48 (Ohio). I almost feel like R/R would be better off going for PA. Ohio just seems poisoned.

[Ciexyz]

Voter fraud - the elephant in the room.

[American Constitutionalist]

If Pittsburgh is getting polls results that the presidential race is tied then ? Romney is in good shape to take PA.

[gswilder]

OH dispatch poll is D+4. not happening. R wins OH by minimum of 2-3

[plushaye]

As posters just said on another conservative site:

“If Romney is tied in PA, he’s ahead in Ohio.”

and the reply was:

” Absolutely..and up significantly. WPA votes very much like Eastern Ohio.” WPA = western pennsylvania

[KoRn]

He’s at 47% in virtually every state of significance, and many national polls. It’s looking to be the magic negro’s magic number.

Voter fraud won’t come into play unless it is down to a few thousand votes. It is a problem, but the effect isn’t bad enough to negate a 1%+ win.

[rdl6989]

47%? That sounds familiar for some mysterious reason.

Rooters had Ohio at Obama by 1%

internals: 46% Dem/38% GOP

Feel better?

[Cato in PA]

In case anyone is curious, the Trib is the more conservative of the two major Pittsburgh newspapers. The Post-Gazette is a liberal rag.

I’ve seen an awful lot of Romney signs in the suburbs just outside Pittsburgh - even in liberal areas. Whether Romney has enough support to flip PA red is anyone’s guess, but I certainly hope so, because I’m not so optimistic about Ohio.

[staytrue]

Obama targeted Ohio as part of the firewall from day one and has put 100 million into Ohio bashing romney for 6 months. Plus OH, has early voting that started 1 day before the first debate.

PA has minimal early voting and relatively few ads which allowed the real Romney to show through.

Yes, PA and OH are now battlegrounds.

[Steven W.]

Michael Barone has written about PA also supporting Romney because of Obama’s war on the suburbs and the middle class.

[Lacey2]

"Almost half of likely voters say economic issues are the primary driver of their choice for president."

Almost half? WTH can be more important to these people, any people today then getting the economy turned around and jobs created? Something is wrong with this poll.

Not to mention the war on coal that has effected the western part of Pa.

Why should that make a difference.

I remember ‘rejoicing’ in 07 or 08 when THEY openly vowed to shut down the mines in W PA and Murtha and OB waltzed into office without a hiccup.

Of course while campaigning, Murtha and OB may have ‘marched in backwards’ and everyone thought they were leaving????
