What is Pennsylvania's electoral status?

[AGA]

In the 2016 presidential election, how likely is it for either candidate to win Pennsylvania?

[Higgs]

Pure Tossup

[Dr. Arch]

Likely D

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

If the race is close, tossup.

As it stands now, likely D.

[Xing]

Lean D.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Leans Democrat, whoever wins it wins the election.

If the race is close, tossup.

As it stands now, likely D.

[Senator-elect Spark]

Lean D

[pbrower2a]

Lean Democrat in a 50-50 election. See 2000 and 2004 elections  to show what Pennsylvania really is.

Lowest-hanging fruit, except perhaps Wisconsin,  behind the Blue Wall of states that have not gone for a Republican since at least 1988. 

[Illiniwek]

Cmon people. Lean D.

[Seriously?]

Right now?

Tossup/Slight Lean D. Likely Clinton win of around 3-5 points. Not quite in the lean camp as I define it. Ultimately, I still think it's a teaser state for Trump and the Republicans (although not as bad as NJ, WI and OR).

[Ljube]

Pure Tossup

I second this, it's the GOPs version of Georgia

[Ronnie]

Safe Hillary, just like every other "battleground" state.

[Skye]

Lean D. For now.

[Consciously Unconscious]

Tossup, though I wouldn't argue against a leans D rating.

Likely D

[angus]

voted likely democrat.

In my sheltered community almost no one likes Clinton, and no one except the public schoolchildren likes Trump.  If the people I talk to are representative of the state then some other candidate will win Pennsylvania.  We all seem to like a different candidate, though.  Some like Mimi, some Hedges, some Smith, and some Johnson.  I suspect that I don't run with a very representative crowd, and that the plurality of voters in the state will vote for Clinton.

I know this:  almost everyone with whom I discuss politics voted for Sanders and we're all glad that he's still out there making trouble for the democrats.

Bolded for emphasis.

Likely D.

[skoods]

Likely D. How many times do Republicans need to kid themselves into thinking it's up for grabs? In every election since 2000, the GOP candidate wasted their time and money there in October because of semi-favorable polling just to be let down in the end.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Tossup/Tilts R, assuming a close national election

Tossup/Tilts R, assuming a close national election

LOL worthy.

[Gass3268]

Trump has ZERO campaign structure in PA

[Torie]

PA's PVI might well swing to the GOP this year - as Hillary wins the state easily.

The GOPs version of Georgia? You realize Pennsylvania is only D+1
