A rated New Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll shows Clinton ahead in Pennsylvania:
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.

(25,920 posts)I do understand that this time we have two exceptional strong (by third party standards) candidates.
But it's likewise bothersome that Trump is getting nearly 40% of the vote. Can that many citizens really be that stupid?

(1,629 posts)I was comforted by the polls right after the DNC convention. But Hillary should have dug Trump's grave and buried him long ago. WTF is wrong with this picture. The Quinnipiac poll from a month ago showed that only 25% of Trump supporters liked him and 64% were voting against Hillary. Hillary needs to turn that around somehow... and slamming Trump doesn't seem to be enough. Is this a likeability problem?

(1,629 posts)How can you say this is a good poll when she's trending down in a race against a racist moron who's arguably the least qualified candidate for president in US history? She should have buried Trump months ago.
