Poll: Lou Barletta and Bob Casey in Dead Heat in Pennsylvania Senate Race
Breitbart ^ | 20 Aug 2018 | Sean Moran

Posted on 08/20/2018 3:31:08 PM PDT by mandaladon

Rep. Lou Barletta (R-PA) and Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) are in a dead heat in the Pennsylvania Senate race, according to a poll released on Monday. A Commonwealth Leaders Fund poll found that Sen. Bob Casey leads by only two points, with Casey at 47 percent, Barletta at 45 percent, and 6.1 percent of Pennsylvania voters undecided. The poll had a 3.6-point margin of error, making the Pennsylvania Senate race a virtual toss-up.

The poll also weighted heavily for a significant Democrat turnout that outpaces previous “Democratic waves.” The poll suggested that Democrats will have a five-point turnout advantage over Republicans. However, if Democrat turnout drops below five percent over Republicans, the Commonwealth suggests it could spell trouble for Sen. Casey’s chances of getting re-elected.

The survey also found that a majority of Pennsylvania voters, 53 percent, strongly or somewhat approve of how President Donald Trump handles the presidency.

Congressman Barletta hopes to unseat the Democrat senator in the 2018 midterm elections. Barletta was one of the first Republican congressmen to endorse Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican presidential primaries and has championed Trump’s America First agenda of building a wall, cracking down on illegal immigration, and combating sanctuary cities.

A lot of Democrat voters that voted for Trump will vote for their guy in the other races for whatever reason.

if the Dem voter turn out is low, “they” can’t cheat their way to election victory.


I wish that were true, but it’s not. In California, a large number of illegal aliens checked the box that said “Not a U.S. citizens” when applying for drivers licenses, but wer registered to vote anyway. And most of those were counted as having early voted, even though they never showed up to the polls. That’s why the Dims want to end the electoral college, so they can steal their way to eternal victory.

I know what you mean, at least currently in PA, illegals voting is still frowned upon.

It’s just the Philly and possibly Pittsburg (heavily Dem area) always report late, and somehow there are boxes and boxes of uncounted votes to offset any GOP lead.

Or voting machines already have thousands of Dem votes before the voting booths are open to public.

You know, the Dem usual.

I suspect this is wishful thinking. People in PA truly believe in the Caseys, father and son.

We know that, but people in PA don’t know that.

I’m sure the POTUS’s robo call will go out to a much broader list in November.

For the primary it was just for “supervoters” like me—haven’t missed an election for 40 years.
