Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney by a 2 point margin, identical to his lead in late September according to Susquehanna Polling and Research. But the Republicans debate performance contributed to a 6 point jump in his favorability rating.
In a poll conducted just after the first presidential debate, from Oct. 4 to 6, 47 percent of respondents said they support Obama; 45 percent support Romney. 3 percent support Libertarian Gary Johnson.
The Obama-Romney head-to-head numbers are identical the most recent Susquehanna Polling and Research survey released on Sept. 23. The margin of that poll, commissioned by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review closely resemble that of another SP&R survey conducted for the Pa. Republican party which showed Obama at a 48 percent to 47 advantage.
When the undecided voters leaning towards a candidate are factored in (breaking 3:1 for Romney), the race narrows to a 1-point Obama lead, 47 percent to 46.

Yep, I am also in Bucks Co. and seeing those Obama ads on TV. Very few Obama signs in yards or the “open” street corner areas (there were a LOT in both places last election). I have actually seen Romney stickers on several cars, a couple of yard signs have sprouted up in my neighborhood and saw a bumper sticker today with just the name Obama and a big red slash over it (liked that one!).
See what Mr Dem had to say (#24 of 40). The Democrat white working class loves America. They voted for the Gipper. The majority of them will vote for Romney.
“nekked”. :)My husband wants to help at the polls this year.
I see nothing in Lower Bucks but I talk to people and they are all voting mostly Obama.Union’s and low income.I talked to a teacher in Montgomery County-she said what recession.Her husband is a well know writer in certain circles.He told me Obama is a good Christian man.:)
Where do you live? I live in Montgomery County just over the city line and in 2008, Obama signs were a pretty common sight. Also, inside the city in the Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy sections, the Obama signs were everywhere. This time, only a smattering in the city and I've literally only seen two in all of Whitemarsh township. Lib and more notably, African American enthusiasm is way down. PA is definitely close - I will not be surprised if Romney wins it. My guess is it depends upon voter fraud in Philly and other union strongholds throughout the Commonwealth.
Are they all going to show up though? Or are they unenthused lazy bones who just think poor folks should vote for the Dem?
Lower Bucks it sucks to see daily Mass goers at the polls working for him.I quit some media because of this.Really mad but some people bought up the air time and gave it back to me.Sometimes you feel like your banging you head against a wall.
They vote,I ask if they vote.They love Obama.
Have you spoken with your pastor? Ours is letting us put the National Right to Life Committee's Candidates stands on life in the bulletins. Maybe your pastor will too. Here's the link - http://www.nrlpac.org/pdf/POTUS%20Comparison.pdf
Maybe, Tom Smith is turning out to be a stronger candidate than I expected!
Suddenly, Casey in a battle against Smith
RCP average has the race at Casy 47, Smith 40.
It's getting late in the game for the incumbent, especially one named Casey, to be under 50%. So who knows, maybe we'll catch a break and it will be "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington"!!! :)
The only problem with the SOS numbers are the voter rolls. They have not been purged in decades. I know of many people with multiple country voter registrations that have never been changed.
He’s good he will.A Catholic called me a racist because I vote pro-life last election.Last election was ugly.
