YES you are so right! My Dad had worked in automobile manufacturing. Union would question each one asking who they would vote for. I asked my Dad what was he going to do since he was Republican. Would he lie? [My Dad had 1 suit and holes in his church shoes even though he tithed.]
He said “I have a family and wife to support. It’s not a lie because God understands I am under duress.
So I tell them what they want to hear.
BUT, when I get in the voting booth and pull he curtain, I VOTE FOR THE PERSON I WANT!
Hard for me to understand how anyone could be undecided at this point.

No one is undecided. They are just not telling anyone.
That's a really big deal.
The headline has the date oct 22.. I’m I missing something here?

What’s the problem?
Trump is leading in PA. If Ohio has swung +8 vs 2012 and NV has swumg +8, PA will do much the same and last election was -5.
Look at these internals:
F 54%
M 46%
R 42 D 48 I 10 - only 10% indy???
with these internals, and I didn’t see the college education skew, I think PA is Trump +3 right now.
Holy cow, that poll shows 29% of African Americans support Trump... if that plays out on election day in PA... Hillary is toast....
Hillary has lost Erie and Harrisburg and is only up 2 in Pittsburgh... To contrast this, Obama had 56% of support in Pittsburgh in 2012... Hillary according to this poll has 45%. O had Erie by almost 58%.. Hillary is actually losing Erie by 9 points 50 to 41...
56 out of PHilly was enough for O, but he had leads in these other areas to help him... She doesn’t, shes well behind O in most the other areas... Trump is 10 points below Romney in Philly, but with 8% undecided there, I expect he’ll likely be close to even to Romney in that area on election day.. maybe a few points down, but not 20.
Hillary doesn’t have it... if this poll is right, the numbers aren’t there for her... She can’t lose Erie, Harrsiburg, and only be up 2 in Pitt, and even in Philly and expect to win... Trump is going to majorly overperform Romney across the state, and Hillary is at least looking at ~200k fewer votes just from a quick run at the big numbers.. easily another 100-200k less when the smaller areas are done.
The numbers are not there for her, if this poll is anywhere close to right.. Hillary is losing PA pretty solidly.
These numbers if accurate pretty much validate my belief... she is up big in Philly, but 56% support in the Philly region is NOT going to be enough for her to carry the state...
No no problem another freeper answered my question..:)
It depends how they push the undecideds. If they included the soft lean into the D&R camps, that could be plausible. Most pollsters will have the soft leans in the I camp.
I am concerned he is peaking too early...

Peaking too early, lol. There are only 2 weeks left!
Some people like attention and to be different. They’ll say they’re undecided so everyone they know will talk to them and try to get them to back once candidate over the other. In truth, I doubt very many of the “undecided” will even vote.
I hope you’re right, because here in Illinois it is not unusual to see those “Proud Union Home” signs on front lawns right alongside “Hillary/Kaine” and “Duckworth” signs. Perhaps those union members are government employees and not blue-collar tradesmen.
The rats think all of obamas voters will vote for Hillary. Few issues with this. For one, more AA men will vote for Trump. Also, more blue collars will vote for Trump. Finally all those disenfranchised military votes from overseas are home and they will vote for Trump.
I’m sorry but I do not believe this poll. This sounds like a fraudulent poll aimed to get Trump to spend his time and resources there.
Should be concentrating on Ohio and Florida.
Nationwide, I can see the AA vote maybe going 80/20 in favor of Clinton.
Fix your sarcasm meter.
It was a joke.
On Hannity there was a lady poll watcher from Arlington Texas on the phone and she said that the early voter turnout is off-the-wall! From the many years that she has been an offical poll watcher she has only seen this kind of turnout twice once for Obama and the other for these past primaries. But nothing like this this early for voting ... she was saying that the enthusiasm for Trump is off the charts and she has never seen anything like this before ..streams of people constantly..though mind you this is a red County but nonetheless the enthusiasm is probably nationwide!
