Poll: Clinton holds a 6-point lead in Pa.
Morning Call ^ | 11/05/2016 | Laura Olson

Posted on 11/06/2016 1:52:52 AM PST by Trump20162020

A new Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll shows Democrat Hillary Clinton with a 6-point lead among likely Pennsylvania voters, who also expressed some concerns about potential violence as the tense and tumultuous election draws to a close.

When third-party candidates are included, Clinton's lead narrows to 4 points. She drew 44 percent, with Trump at 40 percent, Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson at 7 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent.

Notice how Morning Call is quick to note that Clinton went up one whole point in the head-to-head match up from last week, but conveniently fails to mention that she fell from a 6-point lead to a 4-point lead in the 4-way race. I'm sure that was accidental.

D +7? Toss it out.

It won’t be D +7 anywhere, especially in PA.

Polls show the race tied there or Trump slightly ahead.

Its an outlier.

From the internals:

Sample is D+7

Among those “unsure” Trump gets 18% and Crooked gets just 7%

Something does not make any sense here, there is more than 10% of Independents in PA. So this poll somehow makes them irrelevant.

Even their lying poll’s internals show undecided voters breaking 2:1 for Trump.

Hillary can’t win PA with that kind of split.

Who do they think they’re kidding?

If you dig deep, you discover the data doesn’t show Hillary ahead.

Just the opposite. I’m calling PA for Trump.

Zero didn’t win by 6% over Willard (it was 5%), and Willard wasn’t even running a campaign to win. Trump will easily get more votes than Willard, so this poll can be dismissed out of hand.

As I see it, it’s all about setting up the narrative for massive voter fraud out of Philly. And if that doesn’t work then about setting up the ‘reasons’ for going to court and getting their way there.

"Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson at 7 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent."

In 2012, Gary Johnson won 0.87% and Jill Stein 0.37% of the Pennsylvania vote.

My guess is most of the "Gary Johnson" vote and some of the "Jill Stein" vote goes to Trump.

Pennsylvania will come down to turnout. Trump will lose If the inner city voters vote for Hillary at the 103% rate they did for Obama (no I’m not kidding, more votes were cast than people who were registered in Philly), but if turnout is something more in line with reason like 75% in Philly then Trump should be able to pull it off considering virtually the entire state outside the metropolitan areas are a huge see of red.

The Johnson 7% is another clue the poll is garbage.

If he gets more than 2% in PA I would be stunned.

I’d be looking for recent large grants and/or ‘research’ contracts Muhlenberg College has received.

Colleges never do things on their own dime, unless it’s to implement silly-assed SJW rules and the like.

Keep Pat Caddell’s admonition in mind: any poll with the name College/University in it is worthless.

I have a Bachelor’s degree from this raging leftwing school.

Just to give you an idea how leftist it is. It is made up of ninety nine percent white student body, nearly ALL snow flakes, metrosexuals from New York long island.

They recently did a national search for a new college president that absolutely required to be black. They found someone that claims to be black but has lighter skin than Sean King or Rachel Dolezal.

The new president was tasked with making the school at least 5-10 percent black within the next 4 years. So far, it has been a complete total failure, just like this poll.
