A new poll finds President Obama opening up a commanding 11-point lead in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

A Philadelphia Inquirer poll released on Saturday shows Obama with 50 percent support to Romney’s 39 among likely voters in the state.

Obama has expanded his 8-point lead in the same poll taken last month, where he topped Romney with 51 percent to 42.

You found the internals? I looked and didn’t see them. Could you post them?

They probably conducted the poll outside the Philly social security office. You know, little card table, Obama poster on the brick, free suckers in a bowl.

Romney should have been way ahead by now. Is there any coherent strategy to Romney’s campaign? We know what Obama’s is: Appeal to special interests and rely on the press to make him look good. So far, Romney’s seems to be expecting to win by treading water. His comments on Obama’s apology were fine, but when they were attacked, no one responded in his defense except conservative writers, whom only conservatives read.

I don’t care how much money Romney has if he and his people don’t know how to use it.

FWIW, I think the game is to gin up the poll numbers prior to the election to such a degree that when Romney wins, the false narrative of “disenfranchisement” comes into play.

The dems can then say that all these people were barred from voting.

I have gotten very cynical over the years, but truly believe this is the game plan.

If this is the plan, then the dems have gone beyond any semblence of democratic process into the realm of Leftism worthy of hell.

This would cause violence and massive unrest in the cities.

Photobucket The media is making obama look like beating him would be impossible.. So that when he loses by a land slide they can scream,"How can this happen? The republicans must have cheated! They rigged the election!" Then the much wanted race war will begin.

I will concede that Obama probably leads in PA, but this 11 point lead poll is pure BS. I wouldn’t trust what the Phil. Inquirer says any more than I would trust the NYT. I would check the internals, but I know what I would find, so why bother. The onbly polls I am going to pay attention to from here on in are Rasmussen and Pew. The rest of them are extensions of the Obama campaign.

I'm not buying these polls showing Obama climbing. I will react positively as if they were true which means we need to work harder than before. Assume they are correct. I think we'll see that this is going to be another one of those "how were were the polls so wrong?" elections.

Wasn't 2002 one of those "unexpected" wins for the Republicans?

Let's make sure it happens again in 2012.

It’s being set up to make the claim Romney stole the election.

pretty scary

even a cooked poll is hard to tilt this wide

I tell ya...the mix of minorities and goofy non Anglo Saxon Scots Irish Yankee whites has about doomed most of the North

and the parts of Dixie and the Sunbelt where they have now migrated.

minority demographics along with collaborator whites will be what killed America

and in quick fashion

we tried to warn folks here 8 or 9 years ago but were shouted down by the Bush love they neigbor gang or the “but they are all Catholic immigrants Wardaddy!” gang

well here we are folks...looks great eh?

I haven't seen or heard from Santorum lately. Is there anyone else with pull in PA? Obviously Rick needs some help.

No need for pant-wetting over a bad poll.

I agree with that assessment. When obama loses his minions will be so outraged that they will just have to act out by burning down some neighborhoods.

Obama’s philosophy: If I can’t have the USA, NO ONE will.

Very few internals there. 600 polled, +- 4% (which is a garbage rating) 250+ polled in 5 county area with a LAUGHABLE +- 6.9%.....

But, still no D/R/I breakout. THERE is the lie, RIGHT THERE.
