 Pa. poll: Obama lead widens

In the home stretch to Election Day, President Obama has secured a commanding lead in New Jersey - 14 points - over Republican challenger Mitt Romney, according to the Inquirer New Jersey Poll conducted last week.

Support for the president is even stronger in the seven South Jersey counties, with Obama leading Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, 56 to 34 percent compared with 51-37 percent statewide. Obama has a double-digit lead among unaffiliated voters, and he enjoyed a bounce in support from those who watched the Democratic convention on TV earlier this month.

On the other hand, 32 percent of those who watched the Republican convention said they were less likely to vote for Romney, with 26 percent more likely to support him. 

The poll of 600 voters was conducted by phone Sept. 9 to Sept. 12 by a bipartisan team of pollsters from the Democratic firm Global Strategy Group and the Republican firm National Research Inc. The statewide margin of error is 4 percent; in South Jersey (Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties), the margin of error is 8.5 percent.

1. !!!

2. You should read the comments of some of the fuckers

After the article...these asswipes must be paid...it sounds like Rethug boilerplate to me.

3. And you would be correct about that. I'm certain. n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Does Christie lose his bona fides and street cred to the Party if he can't deliver NJ?

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Despite the fact that NJ last voted for a rethug in 1992

and despite their rotation of governors between both parties, the state has never been listed as "in play" - whether as a battleground or swing state. Yet ironically, up until this year, PA was always made a "tossup" despite the fact that we hadn't voted for a rethug since 1988 and we also rotate governors from party to party.

Blowhard Christie is generally being neutered by the NJ state legislature. The downside of Dems there is the rampant corruption.

8. Here's my point:

Christie's been in all those commercials shown all over the country, held himself out to the Republicans as being able to strong-arm even the most recalcitrant democrats to vote HIS way. Wouldn't it seem that he'd be expected to deliver NJ's electoral votes? And if he can't, would that dim his "rising star"?

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Do you remember the last "famous" NJ Governor?

A woman by the name of Christine Todd Whitman? A "rising star" because she was a female rethuglican governor when their party discovered women existed? And she became famous for feeling up a black teen alleged "criminal" who was found to be completely innocent?



Where is she now other than being a reminder of the horrible cancers that 9/11 first-responders are suffering when she lead the EPA and had them proclaim that there was nothing toxic from debris of 2, 110 story towers and other nearby buildings that collapsed?

I.e., NJ rethug governors (other than maybe Tom Kean who was more moderate) have gone further and further into loud-mouth RW posturing and they are ultimately always replaced by Democrats after going too far. The pattern is clear and the party doesn't even bother trying to make NJ even "lean Democrat". They always show it deep blue.

Edit to add - They would use Christie as a mouthpiece but they'll never take the state and don't expect to. It's just like when NY had Pataki in there. They used him as a surrogate but never expected NY to suddenly go red.

18. wow I totally forgot about that.

She got hell for that, and she deserved it.

[PCIntern]

6. Another fucker... Nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. Jersey's not a swing state; neither is PA

Nice to know that things are pretty much wrapped up in both, but it's not really news. The networks will call NJ about 45 seconds after the polls close.

[PCIntern]

8. If it were single digits, they'd be

Touting Romney as though he had a chance....

[Cha]

14. I don't take anything for granted with these

f*******. Especially, in PA where they were trying all kinds of Dirty trickery in the gop senate under Tom Corbett.. to make it so Pennsylvanians couldn't vote for the Prez.

[AlinPA]

15. The voter ID /vote suppression bill has not been overturned. We are not out of the woods yet, only

a huge turnout by Democratic voters can settle it. Several hundred thousands of people will be unable to have their votes counted.

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. No offense, Al, but I remember your same concern 4 years ago

and I remember saying to you over and over that Obama would win PA by 10.

He won by 11.

It's a blue state. Work hard, of course, but our major focus has to be on actual swing states, not states that Karl Rove imagines should be swing states.

[hrmjustin]

17. Obama will carry NJ from 350,000-600,000 votes. My guess is 500,000 votes.

PA will go 250,000 to 450,000 for Obama.

10. Isn't New Jersey a Democratic state?

[brooklynite]

11. Not sure I'd consider it "good news"...

...any more that I'd consider the fact that Romney will win in Idaho "bad news". Not even sure I'd call it "news".

[Cha]

13. But, Christie was the Gopropaganda Keynote..

and, it was all about him and what he]/u] has done. And, Christie's Always Lying about Pres Obama..that didn't take in New Jersey? :bounce;

[tblue]

19. "32 percent of those who watched the Republican convention were less likely to vote for

Romney."

BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

20. Thanks, but NJ has never been in the slightest doubt (nt)
