WASHINGTON — Democrat Hillary Clinton has a 9-point lead among likely Pennsylvania voters as Republican Donald Trump continues to struggle among groups key to winning the state, according to a Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll released Saturday.

The survey, conducted Sept. 12-16, shows Clinton leading the presidential race here with support from 47 percent of likely voters who say they intend to vote for her or are leaning that way. Trump is at 38 percent, while 11 percent say they'd pick neither of the major-party choices, and 4 percent are not sure.

Clinton's lead narrows slightly to 8 percent when third-party candidates are included, with 40 percent for her, 32 percent for Trump, 14 percent for Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and 5 percent for Green Party nominee Jill Stein.

Are there no more coal mines in Penn?

It’s irreconcilable to other polls out today, such as —

I was looking at a picture of the old slag from twenty years ago. The difference in her appearance is nothing short of dramatic. This woman is seriously ill and drugs, especially at her age aren't going to do much if she keeps pushing herself. And in all sincerity I hope she dies and dies soon. I hate her. She is directly responsible for the deaths of so many others and she has left a trail of misery in her wake. Seriously I wish her all the pain and misery in the world.

Pennsylvania is seductive to Republican presidential candidates, but un-winnable IMO. There are a range of factors at play here, mostly having to do with the way the City of Philadelphia games the system by petitioning state judges to order polls to remain open so that they can count every dead-voter in as many precincts as possible.

And really, that’s it...Philly is a vote machine for the democrats. It’s and endless supply of votes, real or imagined.

Based on its liberal voting patterns though, we don’t need to put much hope into PA. It usually votes with its neighbors NY and DE.

What a pantload this poll is.

The poll is crap & Trump is not down 9, but PA is a big tease for the GOP & with the Philly vote machine I don’t trust the state....
