A new poll finds President Obama opening up a commanding 11-point lead in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.

A Philadelphia Inquirer poll released on Saturday shows Obama with 50 percent support to Romney’s 39 among likely voters in the state.

Obama has expanded his 8-point lead in the same poll taken last month, where he topped Romney with 51 percent to 42.

If there is any truth to this at all we have a lot of very troublesome fellow citizens in the state where freedom was signed, sealed and delivered.

The poll also asked voters for the first time for their views on the candidates’ religion. While more than two-thirds of respondents at 68 percent knew Romney was a Mormon, there was wider confusion about the president’s religion. Twenty-nine percent correctly identified Obama as a protestant and 12 percent saying he was a Muslim.

Hilarious!

Some of this is probably puffing to later support some massive ballot stuffing fraud in a few key states.

Consider the source. Consider the Inquirer’s ideological leanings. I believe this is what the poll found, but I don’t think the participants in any way reflect a broader reality.

This just cannot be possible. There must be something in the water - or they’ve replace it with koolaid.

I refuse to believe that there are that many stupid people anywhere in America.

Whenever I see a poll, the first question I ask is this - WHAT ARE THE INTERNALS?

Is this poll about REGISTERED or LIKELY VOTERS?

What’s the D/R/I sampling breakdown?

[redgolum]

There are more people depending on the state than paying in to it. We passed the event horizon some time ago. It doesn't help the GOPe selected a mega rich Mormon to the the candidate.

Maybe they just oversampled dems by 18 on this poll

[Gaffer]

I buy almost everything I need from the internet. It is really, really going to suck when I have to diligently start looking to see where, and by whom anything I buy is from a place like Penn if they end up going for Obama.

[BerniesFriend]

The takers have overcome the makers. God help this once great nation.

Waiting for the MSM to lead this as “Breaking News” in 3...2...1

[Izzy Dunne]

Sampling: 432 Democrats, 12 Republicans, 9 Independents.

[Salvavida]

The Headline after the election will be how far the polls were off.

[Lazamataz]

No internals?

Flat-out baldfaced ignorant-and-smug-about-it lying.

OVERSAMPLING

they are trying to make you give up and stay home on election day and the _resident is in cahoots with the main stream media.

[WashingtonSource]

This poll is TOTAL BOVINE EXCREMENT. The Philadelphia Inquirer is now actually owned by the Democratic Party, if I understand correctly. It has NO PRETENSE now of any objectivity. It is quite simply, The Philadelphia Democratic Party Bugle -- no more no less.

Any poll form this paper can never be taken seriously except as an exercise in disinformation and propaganda.

They flat-out refuse to say.

It's the newest model for lying and propaganda.

[cranked]

One does have to wonder upon how many that did participate in this polling are receiving government/state assistance on any level given the current climate of dependence this epic fail of Obamaeconomy has produced or is producing. =.=

[Perdogg]

If you look at the internals it is clear that Dems were oversample. Stange thing it claims that 0bama is getting only 77% of the Dem vote and Romney is getting only 71% of the GOP votes. The real stinker in this poll is the claim that 0bama is winning men 46-40 which a laugh riot. No internals were released to show the party breakdown, I suspect the DNC delegation were polled.

I am not sure what the party ID spead in PA is.
