Hopefully this carries over to Trump as well!

[orchestra]

This is very good news.

[kabar]

If Toomey is up by that much, there is no way that Trump is trailing by up to 10% in some recent polls.

[woweeitsme]

Here in Southern York County, there are Trump signs all over the place. Did not see this many McCain OR Romney signs the last 2 elections.

[Buckeye McFrog]

He has not impressed anyone here with his work as a Senator.

Which tells you what a sucky, obnoxious candidate Katie McGinty is. I think if the Dems had stuck with Sestak we’d be in real trouble here.

Katie McGinty has been painted successfully as a limousine liberal, she’s done. No Senate for you Chuckie

[Lurkinanloomin]

I also hope it bodes well for Trump.

Since Toomey joined forces with Manchin for gun control I haven’t really cared if he got re-elected.

I wonder if she would let me use her name for a new line of Beef Stew to take over the American market from Dinty Moore?

Katie McGinty’s Beef Stew.

All I see here in the Philly burbs are Anti Toomey ads featuring his stand against Abortion —Planned Parenthood and for the NRA

I bet the viewers are fed up with the constant barage

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I don't have a Toomer!

[wireman]

I’m no Toomey fan either but I’m hoping this is also good news for the top of the ticket.

Quinnipeac has never struck me as a Republican - friendly polling outfit.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

That is a strange race.

I don’t watch much local TV, but when I watch a 1/2 hour news program I must see 10 McGinty or Toomey ads in that period, without exaggeration.

McGinty is running against Toomey as if she were Trump—slamming him on trade deals that hurt America, and knocking his Wall Street insider status.

Meanwhile, Hillary is the overwhelming favorite of Wall Street, but that seems to be lost on Katie McGinty and her followers. They just can’t make the connection.

But interesting to see that Toomey is ahead. Trump is apparently down in PA by 8-11 points, depending on what poll you see.

[DrDude]

Hope this helps Trump, as well. This poll is a Dem+7 sample with women at +6. Mcginty has been shooting herself in the foot with Ads showing Toomey has full NRA support and is against abortion. Apparently people in Pa. disagree.

[alloysteel]

I’m happy to have sent a contribution to his campaign.

But truthfully, is he running ahead or behind The Donald?

[LeonardFMason]

And SESTAK is a complete ASSHOLE....

[pburgh01]

Trump is trailing by up to 10% in some recent polls.

Trump is not down 10%, except in some outlier polls, like Monmouth who couldn't predict the sun rising tomorrow with any accuracy. RCP average is 5% and very doable. I don't have Pa in the Red column on election day and it won't be needed.

[wireman]

That is the 64 dollar question!

[Alberta's Child]

Pennsylvania is a Democratic state. Toomey is the best you're going to get there. On his worst day, he's a million times better than Arlen Sphincter or whatever that @sshole's name was.

Even a lot of Democrats are admitting that Toomey has been a strong champion for Pennsylvania's industries. He has a lot of support from businesses in the energy sector -- and their employees, too.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

wireman :" Republican Sen. Pat Toomey leading Democrat Katie McGinty by 8 percentage points "

Saw the TV ads this weekend - absolutely devastating to ("Millionaire") McGinty,
obviously an understudy to Illery selling political prestiege and contacts 'for fun and profit'.
The truth hurts !

Shady Katie down by 8? How does that jive with Sickly Hillary being up by 9? It doesn’t and I believe Trump, barring massive voter fraud out of Philly which I never discount, will win Pennsylvania and I’ll tell you why. Trump’s lead among White men is up to 40%. He’s only down in the very low single digits with White women. Hillary is not an attractive candidate to either the Millennials or African-Americans and I believe that their participation rate will reflect this whereas Trump’s supporters enthusiasm is extremely high which will mean higher turnout. Outside of Philly and Pittsburgh Hillary is fighting a totally uphill battle. I’m calling it here and I’m calling it now. Pennsylvania for Trump!
