Poll: Single Digit Race For Pennsylvania's 20 Electoral Votes
Paul Steinhauser (CNN) – Need more evidence that Pennsylvania won't be a cakewalk this time around for President Barack Obama?
Then here you go: A Franklin and Marshall College poll of likely Keystone State voters released Wednesday indicates Obama with a 49%-45% edge over Republican nominee Mitt Romney. The president's four point advantage is within the survey's sampling error and is down from a nine point lead he had last month.
The new Franklin and Marshall poll is the fifth non-partisan, live operator survey released this month in Pennsylvania to indicate a close contest for the state's 20 electoral votes.
The Franklin and Marshall poll indicates the president with a 56%-37% lead over Romney on handling foreign policy, a 54%-39% lead on being better able to understand the concerns of ordinary Americans and a 51%-42% lead on handling the job of military chief. But according to the poll, Romney has a 47%-42% advantage on fixing the economy.

Everybody’s tag line should be: What are the internals? Check the data.
And if people are posting polls, they need to include it in their comments.
No wonder everybody is going to Pennsylvania.
In particular the ad with the out of work coal miner talking about Obama's war on coal costing jobs. Even though the ad never mentions Romney, it has to help him.
Many thanks. Something needs to happen to polling methods and reporting before the next round of elections - otherwise why would any news outlet pay for this garbage except for propaganda purposes. Rasmussen and Gallup may have the market to themselves.
PA Ping!
If you want on/off the PA Ping List, please freepmail me.

Romney will take PA this year.
