Can We Trust Pennsylvania’s Polls? They show Joe Biden clinching crucial counties. So why does it feel so different on the ground here?

Polls show Mr. Biden leading by five to 13 points, but I grew up around here and am dubious. This place — the land of hoagies and Bradley Cooper and Rocky Balboa worship and Tina Fey’s “Cousin Karen” accent — has transmogrified into Trumplandia.

“He has so much more support than in 2016, because it’s been four years of accomplishments,” said Darinna Thompson, 49, a homemaker who was talking with a group of women outside the Trump Store.

Pollsters say that suburban women are President Trump’s kryptonite, that they’ve turned on him.

“I feel like that’s wrong — we’re the majority,” said Jennifer Girard, 41, a single mother working in consumer goods who was standing near a pink Dodge Challenger emblazoned with “Women for Trump.” Ms. Girard said that she was part of a group that raised enough money to erect a “Women for Trump” billboard over the stretch of 1-95 that crosses from the city into the suburbs.

Isn’t she bothered by the president’s loud mouth and tetchy Twitter fingers? “There’s a shock factor, for sure,” Ms. Girard said, “but I think we know what to expect now.” She added, “He’s not a politician, and that’s why he works for us.”

What about his flirtation with white supremacists? “I’m sick of people coming to me and telling me I’m a racist because I’m Republican,” Ms. Girard said. “My son is half Puerto Rican. I don’t understand where that comes from.”

Then check out this load of bias from the writer of the article....

Granted women were voluntarily at the Trump Store, but there seemed to be nothing about the past four years that gave them pause. Not Charlottesville. Not the Bob Woodward tapes. Not the pathetic pandemic response and the ruinous economy. Not the president’s suggestions that he might not accept the results of the election. A schoolteacher in the group said, with a shrug, “This is Trump country.

HA

Even this dem moron knows Trump is taking Pennsylvania.

The polls are as “true” as the Covid scamdemic.

Totally agree. That paragraph made me feel so much better about Trump taking Pennsylvania.

Reciting the litany is exactly what the left does when they are angry that they are losing and IT'S NOT FAIR!

Suburban woman here.

Charlottesville “fine people” is a total hoax, Bob Woodword story is a big nothing because yes leaders are supposed to lead and help people not panic.

Actually Trump’s leadership DID help me not panic, back in March/April. I remember a press conference, when the topic was scarcity of food and toilet paper, and I was buying up yeast and flour. Those were dark times.

And Trump said, exact words: “Relax, people, relax.” And then there was a big pause.

And I did. It was calming. And then he announced McDs and Burger King would stay open in drive through; it was funny. He called them all up to confirm.

Leadership.

(Of course, if we were all less obese covid would be no big deal at all, but he WAS calming).

Any female support for Biden is based entirely on a dislike of Trump’s personality. They can’t come up with any policy reason to support Biden. That’s not good for his turnout.

“My son is half Puerto Rican. I don’t understand where that comes from.”

I don’t know why this sounded funny.

She added, “He’s not a politician, and that’s why he works for us.”

She nails it in one sentence.

Apparently someone forgot to tell this NY Slimes “reporter” that his employer is nothing but a left wing propaganda outfit and that he shouldn’t get high on their own supply......

If they thought PA was really going to go Biden, or if it would even be close, then this story would never have been published. They are covering their butts.

I smell flop-sweat in the air.

“Clinching”?

And the media has accurate polling data down to the county level now too? No wonder they’re so smugly confident of the election outcome.

Thanks for letting me know that it would be a waste of time to read the rest of the article. Plus I would be giving them a click. This lady has a valid point.

Watch the latest O’Keefe videos if you wish to see how easy vote fraud is.
