In Pennsylvania, Obama Sees McCain Hi-Beams in His Rear-View Mirror: Barack Obama 51%, John McCain 44%, in Pennsylvania interviewing through Friday night 10/31/08. The candidates are tied among white voters, tied among those without a college degree. The situation is volatile. SurveyUSA will continue to collect data for WCAU-TV Philadelphia, KDKA-TV Pittsburgh, WNEP-TV Wilkes-Barre, WJAC-TV Johnstown, and WHTM-TV Harrisburg.
we are down 7 and those high beams? rofl
uhh it was previously a red state...
PA hasn’t gone GOP since 1988.
Sorry to disappoint you, but I think there’s a chance of a McCain upset win in PA.
In a state we don't need and Obama does? Where poll after poll is ridiculously oversampling Democrats? It's great news for all but the most negative of posters. Do you fit into that category? Based on what I've seen these past many weeks, yeah.
thanks for the fact check. for some reason i thought it was red in the previous election.
Obama is the rookie NASCAR Driver looking for his first win with 3 laps to go.
Suddenly he hears his spotter say “3 Car Behind You”
He looks in his rearview mirror and the # 3 Goodwrench Car is pulling up to his bumper, part of it’s front bumper and tape is flapping furiously in the wind, he sees the unmistakable wicked smile from the driver, he knows he’s doomed.
It’s closer than SEVEN points, even Rendell admitted that much on TV several times.
He thinks it’s more like four points.
Mason Dixon has it at three or four in PA.
Another Obama trick is this:
He states that that a small percentage of small biz makes 250K.
At 250K he will be raising taxes on SIXTY-EIGHT PERCENT of all small business INCOME.
Who knows what it is when it keeps getting lowered to 200K, 150K, 120K??
Don’t worry, by the time he takes office (not happening) it will be down to 60K.
The pollsters and mainstream media are all whores diving for Obama campaign money. Even Drudge is running his ads and streaming his campaign rallies in a web banner ad. They all want that Obama $$$. It is a bonanza.
TIPP/IBD and BattleGround are different. Bill O’Neill of IBD would rather die than take O’s cash. T/I and BG do not accept MSM moeny for their polls.
Tomorrow is the day of truth. The tide is going out and we see if the pollsters are naked. Watch for a shift tomorrow. They are saying BS that “the situation is volatile” and other crap.
They have no idea how PUMAs and Undecideds are going to vote. People are keeping their mouth shut because they are afraid of Obama. they have no idea who the pollster is. It could be their union boss for all they know or Obama’s thugs.
The pollsters are also getting Obama campaign money and tomorrow their reputation is on the line. They could care less if they have thrown the election to Obama by lying in their polls. They just want the $$.
Every small business owner in America should tell his employees that if they vote for Obama, they will be out of a job on Jan. 21, 2009.
Not because the owner will be vindictive, but because he won’t be able to afford to pay Obama’s taxes and their wages at the same time.
Coal truck! I love it. Obama has thrown everyone under the bus. Time for voters in WV, PA and OH to throw Obamabi under the coal truck. :-)
Kerry only won PA by 2.5% in 2004. I can’t imagine Obama taking any votes that Bush had, but it is possible that there are 2.5%+ in PA who are insulted at being called bitter clingers, rednecks and racists. Not to mention those in the coal business in western PA who would be voting to be unemployed if they voted Obama.
It’s definitely within the realm of possibility for McCain to win in PA.
And this poll has him tied with the white vote??? Bwahaahahahahah.
SurveyUSA doesn’t overweight anything.
They call who they call and use whoever they get. They are one of the few outfits that doesn’t use weighting
The sample was 49% Dem, 40% Rep, 10% Ind because thats who answered the phone.
Why do you suppose that Murtha referred to those who live in his district as racists and redneck?
I think he had just seen internal democrat polls that showed that not just Obama but that Murtha was was in big trouble in his district.
He logically reasoned he is in trouble because Obama is the Democrat nominee. And he took that out on his own voters rather than the party that nominated Obama.
The media has tried to tell us Murtha is in trouble because of what he said about the voters in his district. I think he was in serious trouble and that is why he made those statements.
Murtha is in a district that is 2 to 1 Demoratic. If he is in trouble in that district what sort of vote you think Obama will get in that district.
Obama had best win Philly by a big margin or he is in trouble in PA.
55%-45% McCain, and probably 60% to 40% McCain in the "T".
I have never heard of this polling firm before. My guess is that the sample is skewed towards the non-"T" area.
McCain is not behind 10 Points in southwest Penn. That seems to be where must of the undecides all.
Thanks.
