A new poll shows Republican Mitt Romney leading in Pennsylvania, a state that Republicans had all but written off just weeks ago but which is now listed as a toss up by the Real Clear Politics website.
Susquehanna Polling and Research provided The Washington Examiner with a poll it conducted for state party officials that shows Romney with a 49 percent to 45 percent lead over President Obama.
It's the first poll to show Romney leading among likely voters in the Keystone State.

Well get this.....
Townhall editor Guy Benson : Just spoke to SQs chief pollster in PA. Says the Romney 49 Obama 45 poll is based on 1,376 LV with a D+6 sample.
D+6 Poll and Romney is 4 ahead Whoa.
Trying not to get too excited by the polls....but...WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
OBAMA: Four down in Pennsylvania is not optimal.
I have been claiming Pennsylvania all day today. And then this poll comes out this afternoon.
for later
I would like to see more than one poll confirming this.
God's arm will deliver the victory, but we can't be complacent.
We are still permitted to ax for pix ID but the perps don't have to show them.
I'm hopeful that these numbers are real, but voter fraud in philly and pburgh is legend.
YOU are SO right!
A sign of the Apocalypse
Everything Obama says to either cover up or spin his stories just increases the winds that blow at his house of cards.
According to the PA Dept. of State, the breakdown in RV is 37R/50D/13I for the state. I’m not sure what turnout has been the last few elections, but D+6 might not be unreasonable.
Unless I see at least two collaborating polls, I would say this is a simple outlier.
Why should this be a shock. PA is not “blue,” more like purple. They have a GOP Senator, a GOP Govenor both recently elected. Bush barely lost PA in 2004.
The media has told everyone that Ohio is wide open, NC is swing state, but pretend that states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin with GOP governors and split Senators are off limits to Romney. People need to not believe all the media spin.
PA Ping!

Thanks!
PA did well in 2010. GOP governor and U.S. senator and turned six congressional seats from blue to red. An excellent showing for what is supposed to be a blue state.
If GOP turnout in PA rivals that of 2010, Romney could very well win.
D+6 is optimistic. D+8 is probably realistic. There are a lot of Rats outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh that will be voting for Romney. Let’s hope that is enough.
D +10
D + 2
D + 4
D + 9 (Clinton 49%)
D + 9 (Clinton 45%)
So D+6 may be a little on the low side but not by a lot.
