P&P vote fraud are a concern but I still hope the margin will be too large to overcome. I have seen exactly ONE Clinton sign, no bumper stickers, so far — and I get around PA a lot. (Just never in Philly or P’burgh.)

The PA poll wasn’t from CBS. It was posted online by a CBS affiliate in San Diego, the poll itself came from an outfit with no previously recorded polling history.

Big deal. CEPEX is tied to Brietbart.

You can not trust any poll... period... until mid October. They all have an agenda, and 95% pro Canckles.

Does this factor in (i) the dead vote and (ii) the voting machines in several precincts where Romney did not even get one vote in Filtydelphia?

Not a CBS poll. Produced by a company called CEPEX, based out of Calgary, Canada. They’re an oil-and-gas project management company who are trying to get into the polling game. This is the first poll they’ve ever done.

Being reported by a CBS affiliate out of San Diego which is not owned by CBS.

Last American poll out of Pennsylvania was August 10 when NBC/Marist had Hillary up 11 in the head-to-head, and up 9 when Johnson and Stein were included.

As with all polls, take both the NBC and this new CEPEX poll with a grain of salt, but a 16-point swing in 10 days absent major news should be taken with a pound of salt. One (or both) of these polls is way, way off.

Don’t believe any poll, no matter what it says.

not until early October, at least...right now, all meaningless noise to keep the electorate interested...

“My deepest fantasy is that Hillary is soundly trounced and spends the remainder of her miserable existence knowing that her big goal, the one thing she has wanted all of her adult life, was denied her by the American people.”

When she looses, she will soon pass on! Being president is all she has left. Then I hope Slick does a “Nelson Rockefeller” while “mounted” on some young thing! It would be a treat to spend the rest of my days in a country that’s “Clinton-free!”

“Democrats lie when telling the truth is easier too... “

It’s called “practicing!” You can’t be a good liar if you don’t practice your craft each and every day.

Local CBS affiliate in Harrisburg apparently reported it and I'm not familiar with the poll.

as per the poll conducted by CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution, on Friday (19th Aug 2016).

Trump leads Clinton 41.9 percent to 36.5 percent, with 21.5 percent voters undecided. Trump’s lead is just inside the margin of error and marks the first time that the Republican candidate is catching up in the traditional stronghold state of the democratic party.

Maybe this will give him the confidence to fight onward.

PA has voted like NY in all presidential elections since 1936 except for 1988.

Interesting; also the poll has a very high MOE (margin of error);

The survey contacted around 1,000 registered voters. Results are estimated to be accurate within 7.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. According to CEPEX analysis, the error percentage is high due to the results obtained from just one day of polling. Subsequent polling would be required to reduce the error percentage.
