Clinton crushing Sanders in Pennsylvania

By Jonathan Easley


Hillary Clinton has a huge lead over Bernie Sanders in Pennsylvania just three weeks before the primary there.

A Harper Polling survey released Tuesday found Clinton taking 55 percent over Sanders at 33 percent, with 12 percent undecided.

......................


There are 210 delegates up for grabs in Pennsylvania's April 26 primary. Sanders trails Clinton by about 300 delegates overall currently, and needs to start posting victories by wide margins if he’s going to catch her.

In the race to be the Democratic nominee to challenge incumbent Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) is in the lead with 41 percent support, following by former gubernatorial chief of staff Katie McGinty (D) at 31 percent..............



Congratulations to Hillary and Her Team

1. That would result in a 30+ delegate gain...

.. and wipe out all the gains Bernie got from his past several "yuuuuuuge" wins.

[morningfog]

2. Haven't you realized that a Hillary 20 point lead inevitably disintegrates?

Bernie will close in there just like everywhere else.

[Tarc]

6. Closed primary, bro

No meddling this time around.

[morningfog]

8. Dont be butt hurt because Bernie has been kicking Hillary's ass.

There is no meddling. Just Hillary losing.

And bookmark it. Hillary will not win by 20 in PA. It will tighten as it consistently does.

[Cal Carpenter]

16. The same pollster had it 57 to 27 a month ago

So she's lost 2 points and he's gained 6. Fwiw.

Dunno what will happen in the next 3 weeks, but it is likely it will get much closer given how things have gone so far.

[DCBob]

9. Nope. Only Democrats allowed to vote.

Hillary always wins with Democrats.

[morningfog]

11. She's lost closed contests, that is simply not true.

I know Hillary's peeps are hanging their hat on that, but it will tighten, I guarantee it.

[DCBob]

13. Sorry.. this is not a caucus.

[morningfog]

14. Doesn't matter. Like I said, it will narrow considerably.

She will not win PA by 20.

[DCBob]

15. Bernie needs a big win to keep his miniscule hopes alive.

That wont happen. In fact he is likely to get trounced.

[morningfog]

18. New poll already has him within 6 points.

Like I've been saying, if he can maintain, he's viable until June 7 delegate rich day.

[DCBob]

19. That's closer than I thought it would be but he needs alot more than that.

Gotta go. Cheers.

[Tarc]

3. Now that we turn back to the more diverse states that aren't open to Republican meddling...

The deal can be sealed.

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. "Deal"

I feel like I'm being told the bathroom I'm standing in can actually be listed as a bedroom and I need to hurry up and make an offer on the house because there's someone else in the wings, and the real estate agent wants to "close the deal".

[Perogie]

4. She was up by 40 points in Wisconsin

Just thought I'd point that out.

[Kentonio]

5. I remember a time not so long ago, when 22 points was considered not so 'huge'..

[bobbobbins01]

7. My mom lives there.

Lifelong republican. Switched to be a Democrat just to vote for Bernie. PA is a ways away, its going to be a much closer race by then.

[Jarqui]

17. A real, respectable polling firm, Quinnipiac, not a periodical poll the Clintons can buy

has Clinton +6 as of April 6th in a state Sanders hasn't campaigned in
http://www.quinnipiac.edu/images/polling/pa/pa04062016_Pfgr37w.pdf

When Sanders starts campaigning and more people start finding out who he is and what he stands for, Hillary's numbers always tumble. No Clinton lead is safe but one that small is very vulnerable.

If Hillary is only really+6 now, like Quinnipiac says, she's probably not going to win the state.

PA has a lower black population 11% (the blacks have basically carried Hillary) and folks in PA are not going to be happy with Hillary's support and flip-flops on free trade.

DE and MD have higher black populations that will present tougher challenges for Bernie. And DE is the US's version of Panama or BVI so that probably won't help Bernie.

[Karmadillo]

20. Whoops. That didn't last long, did it? Quinnipiac has Sanders within 6 points.

[geek tragedy]

21. that poll included independents and oversampled Republicans.

also a very loose voter screen--turnout for the primaries is not 75%.
