Zogby International ^ | 9/13/2008 | John Zogby

Posted on 09/13/2008 1:22:36 PM PDT by comebacknewt

State: Pennsylvania

Updated: 9/13/2008

Summary: McCain - 49.1% Obama - 44.3% Not Sure/Other - 6.6%

"This is a classic case of polling as a snapshot in time. We're turning Pennsylvania purple today, as McCain takes a small edge. But as in Ohio, we are watching this closely and things could change in this classically blue state."

I took a Zogby interactive poll last week, too.

I'm in Ohio.

we’ll never take PA - 127% of blacks will vote in Philly, and they’ll ALL vote for hussein.

Blacks are just 10.7% of PA

All it will take is for a good majority of whites to be repelled by the Obamessiah.

The McCain List.

Great news, if it's true. Zogby's track record is a mixed bag though.

>>>Settle down there...remember they are tremendous cheaters.<<<

I seem to remember a long-ago quote from some machine Democrat to the effect; "show me a large city where you need help and I'll get you a 15% swing"....or something to that effect.

15% may be high in this day and age, but I'll bet they can do 5% anywhere without breaking a sweat! I have little doubt that they swing better than 5% in Seattle - there were reports a few years back of a warehouse operation in Tacoma with hundreds of people filling out blank ballots. Reporters were run off by Demo thugs people in police uniforms with threats of bodily harm.

I don’t trust Zogby but these headlines still must make the Dems worry. Not to mention it makes voters think the Obama luster is wearing off and he is very vulnerable.

Zogby was wrong about a lot of states in ‘04 unfortunately. But who knows. Other polls show PA quite close so if Obama and Biden continue to falter, it could go to McCain/Palin.

I agree. 5% seems too good to be true.

it won't happen. if you live in philadelphia, you can spend all day in bed, but you'll still "vote"...

... and no one dares ever question it, because THAT would be RACIST, right?

Even if the numbers are not reliable, it’s enough to get the crazies started- you know, the ladies and gentlemen from moveon.org who throw urine and feces to get their point across. C’mon, bamanation! We’re waiting for the circus to begin! You’ve been way too nice to Trig!

The McCain camp needs to fry Obama for that ad mocking McCain for being too old for computers. The great potential for blacklash against Obama with Pa’s large elderly population.

I don't think we could give them any more hints. Stuff like this has been all over the net today.

Daniels never trailed Thompson. Last in state poll last week had Daniels up almost 20.

Months ago Daniels was even or lagging. Perhaps that was against a generic democrat or another hypothetical opponent. Nevetheless I’m delighted to see he will likely win.

Best to act like we're even. Too down, and despair sets in. Too up, we won't be inclined to work as hard.

Management principle: people work hardest when the prospects for success and failure are at parity.

I predict that the Philidelphia polls will remain open until the deciding Obama vote is cast. It could be Nov. 14th, but they’ll get a judge somewhere to hold them open.

That may be harder than you think. There are parts of Philly that would have voted for Clinton. Barry? I don't think so.

Very nice. I think it would work better with Obama shopped in, though...

I am telling you folks PA will not go Fauxbama, McCain will win PA. Not based on ZOGBY but based on what I see on the ground living here for more than 20 years. Fauxbama lost this race before it began, and continues to fall further and further.

Now, the one thing in the latest Zogby numbers I found crazy was he has Fauxbama up 1 in NC???? Zogby, you got something wrong in your polling, or someone flubbed the math, there is no way Fauxbama is up anything in NC.
