President Obama now holds a six-point lead over Mitt Romney in Pennsylvania, a state considered essential to his reelection bid.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the Keystone State shows the president with 47% support, while the putative Republican presidential nominee picks up 41% of the vote. Seven percent (7%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

These ass clowns voted for the Kenyan last time even after he insulted them with the “bitter clinger” line. Screw PA

This will be the first election in Pa. with Voter ID. Will be interesting as to how that will affect results.

They must be oversampling Philly. Outside of college campi, black neighborhoods and kool aid drinkers in union halls, Obama is not popular anyplace I go in this state so far as I can see.

Obama’s message is horrible so he will probably lose in November and be back seeking the presidency in a couple cycles from now.

When Obama loses in November he will be done electorally outside of Illinois.

He can't ever be the candidate of the future again, and that is the only line that has ever worked for him. If he has to run on actual plans and accomplishments like most people he is sunk, except maybe in a socialist 'Rat-hole like IL.

I think the booing that Joe Biden got at the Pittsburgh St. Patty’s Day Parade is far more indicative than this poll.

but since Romney is probably going to lose in a very close election,

Romney is going to beat Obama comfortably in November.

In the meantime the GOP nominee (Romney) will be chosen according to the rules set in place before the primary voting began.

Romney just swept two more primaries yesterday under those rules. He has no reason to unilaterally walk away from the nomination he has won.

A lot of people are fed up.

America is fed up with the Kenyan Kommie.

Everyone but the FR He-Man Mitt-Haters Club can see that.

It’s gonna be harder for the Dems to cheat with the new Voter ID requirement in PA.

That won’t matter in the Philly precincts. Oh how much I despise that city.

Trumka is whipping up the union vote for Obama. Have you seen all the articles predicting that the PA unions won’t turn abandon Obama?

I agree that America is fed up, but this is still an uphill fight. There are too many idiots in the voting population.

The west PA Pittsburgh region is big union and usually goes for Dems. Philly almost always is largely in the Dem camp. I dont’ see the unions not voting for Obama.

I think that’s the reason that Obama came out in support of the natural gas in PA, because his anti-coal-anti-industry stance wasn’t playing well with some of the union members.

Here in WA State, a lot of the union members have abandoned Obama and joined the GOP because of his reliance on the Green Agenda.

You know all those white male blue collar workers that they keep saying Obama lost? Well I found them, in the WA state GOP, voting Anyone But Obama.

Yep, in 2000, Al Gore got more than 100% of the number of eligible voters in Philadelphia, not more than 100% of the vote, but more than 100% of the total number of people of voting age in Philadelphia.

I agree that there are far too many idiots. The leftists have been manufacturing idiots through the media, the schools, and the culture for decades. It will take us decades to work our way back to where we need to be. The tea party movement is a big part of that, as is being Breitbart via the new media. It's on!
