Election 2008: Pennsylvania Presidential Election Obama Leads By Four in Pennsylvania
Saturday, November 01, 2008
In Pennsylvania, John McCain is getting closer, but Barack Obama is still attracting a majority of voters.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state shows Obama with 51% of the vote while McCain picks up 47%. That four-point advantage for Obama is down from a seven-point margin earlier in the week and a 13-point advantage for Obama earlier in the month.
Just 75% of Pennsylvania Democrats now support their party’s nominee, down from 86% in the previous survey. Obama is doing a bit better among unaffiliated voters while Republican support for McCain remains steady (see crosstabs).

Nice try deflating hopes but no dice. 4 points is very doable, especially since Ras widely overestimated Obama’s performance in the primary. Keep your quitting to yourself, the rest of us are working and voting to WIN.
Which is JUST NOT HAPPENING in PA.
If McCain is within 4 pts. in PA, the Obamessiah is in trouble.
I hope you are not just trying to sow depression/defeatism among the voters.
Girl, GROW A PAIR! The question will not be whether McCain can pull the upset, it’ll be whether the Dems can come back from such a disastrous election. B. Hussein has spent nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS (that’s $1,000,000,000), and has nothing to show for it. Some internals are showing McCain well in the lead in PA. Buck up.
What makes you think I misread the headline?
Or at least frightened enough people from actually going and pulling the lever. Seeing folks going to jail might dissuade them from being cute and committing voter fraud. I bet more than few college idiots thought it was as harmless as TPing a house.
“We can cross our fingers, but I’m afraid it’s a little to late to change PA.”
That’s perfectly silly. Even a mild Bradley or Shy Tory effect and we win the state
America's enemies have always made the same mistake- by savage attacks, they think we'll cower in fear and surrender. Santa Anna did that when he slaughtered Texians at the Alamo and Goliad, the Japs at Pearl Harbor, and Obama bin Laden on 9/11. EVERY TIME, they learned to their regret that savagely attacking America only gets our backs up...that's what living free in the greatest nation in history will do.
PUMA POWER!
This is a Ras poll. So there’s probably at least a 5 pt over-weight to Dems, relative to historical norms. This is not over by far!
There is a lot of McCain whispering going on. I am in a traditionally conservative suburb of Chicago and if people are McCain supporters they usually try to figure it out with a few leading question and then whisper, “Dude, you for McCain/Palin?” The Obama supporters are alway talking about it. I heard conversation this week on celebration plans and what was in their music play list for election day.
Obama troll alert!
Yes, it’s like when they hit that big guy with a frying pan in the movies thinking they’ll knock him out. Except it only makes him madder.
Not so silly. We barely squeaked by last time with all the counts, recounts, and re-recounts.
Tom Ridge was just telling us, the GOP polling in PA has McCain tied with Obama. PA will go McCain/Palin!
HA! We do that in Tennessee! We’ll do the mumble the name and look to see if they caught it. And then if we don’t get a scrunched up face reaction, we’ll say McCain a little louder.
If we are doing that, as staunch conservatives, I wonder truly how many are doing that nationwide.
The last Ras PA poll, I think I calculated it at 8% advantage.
Haven’t run the numbers for this Ras PA poll yet.
Look, having Dems in charge of the House and the Senate and the presidency would be about as dumb as givng your crazy uncle all your savings and buying him plane tickets to Vegas. No thanks. I think citizens in Pennsylvania and elsewhere see this.
Are you thinking about Florida in 2000? This thread is about Pennsylvania. The "last time" a presidential election was held was 2004. I don't recall a lot of recounts that year unless maybe you are thinking of Wisconsin. Please clarify.
