Two percentage points separate President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney in a state poll conducted for the Tribune-Review, even though the campaigns largely are ignoring Pennsylvania and concentrating on other battlegrounds.
Obama polled 47 percent to Romney’s 45 percent among likely Pennsylvania voters, with 6 percent of voters undecided and 44 days until Election Day, according to the survey by Susquehanna Polling & Research. The survey of 800 voters, conducted Sept. 18-20, has a margin of error of 3.46 percentage points.
The poll showed most voters are disappointed with the country’s direction, evenly split on whether Obama deserves another term and hesitant to back Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts. Fifty-one percent of the state’s voters approve of Obama’s job performance.

We can only pray and exhort- the urbans are not motivated to get out and the working class, suburban, coal districts hammer the precincts.
Frack you Obama!
Fifty-one percent of the state's voters obviously are ignorant to reality! What performance???? The guy is a narcissistic loser and has accomplished nearly nothing positive!
I hear that the Dem Machine out in Allegheny County took a beating. Philly is Philly, but in the suburbs enthusiasm is definitely dropped. I don’t see many yard signs for either candidate.
2008 signs were everywhere, even some people I knew that went Bush for 2004 had Obama signs. I definitely think things are a lot better this time around.
If this poll is correct and holds till election day it will be goodbye Zero.
BS. Polls are NOT “tightening”. They just need to start being more honest. In the PA suburbs of Philly, I see lots of R signs, no D signs, even though my neighborhood went D in 2008.
PA Ping!
If you want on/off the PA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
Where are you located?
Yup!...happens every time....The 2010 Republican sweep was a good example... polls weren’t even close to predicting the sweep till a few days before the election...and then they called most dead heats... (someone at FR had a chart of polls going back several years....When a (D) won it was always by less then predicted.....When a (R) won it was always by more then predicted....usually within the margin of error

Not that old IMHO. Has anything drastic changed since a week ago?
Barack Obama 37% | 135 votes
Mitt Romney 55% | 204 votes
Other 8% | 29 votes
From everything I hear here in SWPA, the distrust and dislike for obama is palpable. Even the union guys around here can’t stand him.
WE CAN DO THIS!!!
Our 16% edge in enthusiasm plus Catholic vote and Obama’s done for.
RE: plus Catholic vote
I’m just curious... what makes people think that Catholics are overwhelmingly for Romney this time?
