Electability: Trump Beats Hillary In Pennsylvania; Bush, Kasich Lose
breitbart.com ^ | October 15, 2015

Posted on 10/16/2015 5:12:57 AM PDT by Helicondelta

With the latest state polls again making fools of the pundits who claimed Donald Trump’s popularity had flattened or was diminishing, the latest general election poll out of the swing state of Pennsylvania shows that Trump has a better chance of taking that state than Establishment favorites Jeb Bush and John Kasich.

Currently, Trump beats Hillary 45% to 43%.

Jeb Bush loses to Hillary by -5 (40-45), Kasich loses -2, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) loses -6, Santorum and Huckabee lose by a whopping -8 and -9, respectively.

But Fox News said he had no chance in the General? How can this be?

Pray America wakes

Any Republican who can take back Pennsylvania would seem to be a certain winner. I don’t know how the GOP could win the Keystone and not win the presidency.

“But Fox News said he had no chance in the General”

They were probably relying on intelligence passed on by their fake CIA operative:

I’ll be waiting for Rove and his little whiteboard to be on tv telling us electability is a critical point to understand in Republican politics and so he is “all in” now as a Trump supporter. Hahaha, I crack myself up sometimes.

We need to take these polls with a grain of salt.
Remember, the RNC has not put out their ads for Hillary yet.

Same with OH. OH is difficult to predict, since it doesn't function as one state. Kasich, and the grab for money and power upward, both on the state and country level has most folks I know pretty fed up.

I could see outsider Trump being more popular than hillary the insider. The thought of someone who does construction without making things worse is quite appealing around here.

I'm not sure people would vote for Kasich, except to get rid of him as Governor. And even at that, people wouldn't have much confidence a replacement would be better. JMHO

I love the way Breitbart turns the data around on Faux News and stuffs it up their ash.

I think Trump could win New York

I have no basis for saying that other than that all the New Yorkers I have met over the years seemed to like him.

I'd like to know how Trump stacks up against Bernie in PA. PA now has a tax and spend Democrat as governor and there are some indications the legislature may fall to the Democrats. We have a large gimmedat population in PA, and Bernie would play well to those voters.

CNBC kowtows to the power

Thank you, Mr. President

I agree. The last time NY went R was Reagan's 1984 landslide. Trump could well carry NY, NJ, CT, and PA. That shift alone would make a D path to victory nearly impossible.

That's a Public Policy Polling survey too. The entire poll is rather interesting.

You do realize that Ted Cruz voted twice in the last year to abandon the Treaty Clause of the Constitution and to give Obama unlimited power to make treaties without Senate ratification, don't you?

If a Republican candidate can pick up Pennsylvania, then that changes the entire electoral map.
