WASHINGTON — Democrat Hillary Clinton has a 9-point lead among likely Pennsylvania voters as Republican Donald Trump continues to struggle among groups key to winning the state, according to a Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll released Saturday.

The survey, conducted Sept. 12-16, shows Clinton leading the presidential race here with support from 47 percent of likely voters who say they intend to vote for her or are leaning that way. Trump is at 38 percent, while 11 percent say they'd pick neither of the major-party choices, and 4 percent are not sure.

Clinton's lead narrows slightly to 8 percent when third-party candidates are included, with 40 percent for her, 32 percent for Trump, 14 percent for Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and 5 percent for Green Party nominee Jill Stein.

First it was he had to win Ohio. Trump's numbers are good there, so now the call is that he has to win Pennsylvania.

Who did they talk to? The dead or mentally challenged? This is pure garbage. Trump is ahead 6 point per USC LATimes. This poll is junk science like global warming.

+8 D. Another over-sample of democrats. If it was +2 or 3 D I would be more concerned with these numbers. That said....I don’t trust PA & if I were Trump I would be spending my time & money in Colorado & Virginia in place of PA to get the 270 EVs he needs.
