Poll: Trump and Biden matchup within margin of error in Pennsylvania
The Hill ^ | August 20, 2020

Posted on 08/20/2020 5:53:54 PM PDT by 11th_VA

President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are running neck and neck in Pennsylvania, according to a new Muhlenberg College-Morning Call poll released Thursday.

Biden leads with 49 percent support among likely voters in the Keystone State, but Trump trails close behind with 45 percent, a difference that falls within the survey's margin of error. Three percent of voters said they will vote for neither candidate, and another 3 percent said they were unsure.

Trump's approval rating is underwater in the state, with 51 percent of likely voters saying they disapprove of the job he's doing and 43 percent approving. His handling specifically of the coronavirus pandemic is also viewed unfavorably, with 51 percent saying it's been "poor" and only 17 percent saying it's been "excellent."

The crowds in Scranton were massive for Trump.

Biden can’t even fill a diner.

Rassmussen double headline today in their email: 19% of voters change after watching Dems convention. Trump tops 51%, a 4% gain over night. Things are beginning to turn our way.

The only way Biden wins PA is through mail in ballot fraud. That’s the only way. trump will own the state by 100k votes at least

How can they rate TRUMP’s performance on the virus so badly when it is their lunatic governor and his certifiably off-the-rocker “health” czar (the tranny) who have put the state into its current mess?

What did Rasmussen mean by change? Change the channel? Change to Trump? Change the kitty litter? (By the way, I did that after watching a couple minutes of the convention last night.)

A lot of the older “Joe Six Pack” guys in PA see Biden as some sort of working class hero - another FDR. That’s wrong, of course.

But combine that with ballot fraud and Joe has a good chance to take PA. At this point I wouldn’t bet against it.

Add in the Shy Trump Voters and President Trump is in the lead.

Sorry but I’ve lived in PA for more than 30 years, Biden isn’t viewed as some working class hero.. the Dems think he’s their great White hope, but he’s got no chance.

Biden will get the usual voters any D would get, but he won’t get a single
Trump voter to vote for him, and he’ll underperform Hillary across the state.

Fraud is the only shot they have at PA.

More importantly, is it within the Margin of Fraud?

You’re right. Biden is against fracking. He hates coal. That will not fly in western Pennsylvania and the northeastern part of the Commonwealth where fracking is bringing back jobs and helping local communities devastated by Obama’s war on coal.

Plus, Pennsylvanians don’t like images of cities being looted and burned and cops being beaten and killed. Democrats haven’t condemned any of that. Nice guy Biden isn’t tough enough or smart enough to handle the threats against the U.S. that China and Russia represent. No way he wins central and western Pa.
