A Philadelphia Inquirer poll released Saturday has President Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney in Pennsylvania, 50 percent to 39 percent.

From the press release:

The post-convention surge that is often anticipated by both political parties in polling data appears to currently benefit President Barack Obama, who leads Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney by 11 points among likely voters in the Keystone State, 50% to 39%, with a margin of error +/- 4%.

Pennsylvania Democrats are more consolidated behind Obama, with 77% in favor of Obama and 13% in favor of Romney, while Republicans are 18% in favor of Obama and 71% in favor of Romney.

The voters provided their opinion of the President, with a 56% favorable/40% unfavorable rating.

1. PA is not a swing state this cycle

It really wasn't a swing state last cycle either, except in the fevered imagination of the McCain campaign and in their press releases. Nobody's really spoken much about PA in the last six weeks, because it's been wrapped up for Obama since early August.
