That's in line with the rest of the polls.

I can very easily believe that PA is trending more Republican in this election.

If PA goes for Obama by a greater percentage than the national PV, will you still be singing the same tune??? I can't remember the last time that happened.

The last time that Pennsylvania was more Republican than the nation as a whole was 1948 (going on the basis of margin of victory in PA vs. margin of victory nationally).

Which is actually the longest streak of any state in the nation, believe it or not.

I would love to re-live a 1948. I would have been wild about Harry.

No, but I'm expecting it to be closer.

Some of it is race.

Glad to see we agree on the guy who vetoed that abomination of a bill co-sponsored by one of your state's most famous senators ever.

Sorry I missed doing this yesterday.

I have no internals today which tell me the breakdown of this one-day sample, but the Halloween sample was a strong one for Obama.  If the numbers were the same as the one that fell off that I guessed at before (October 30 fell off today), then Obama +3.

The 46.50% for McCain today rounds down because it is 46.49986...

Rounded Three-Day Sample

Obama 51%
McCain 46%

Rowan - This is probably the reason why Rasmussen's playing around with the weighting, though he should tell us why:

Targets (this week)
Dem 39.9% (-0.1%)
Rep 33.4% (+0.6%)
Ind 26.7% (-0.5%)

McCain has to make up 2.5 points per day in the next two days. Good luck with that one.

The remaining superdelegates will split 3-1 for Clinton, too.

And Obama was overpolling in NC and would only win by 4. And there was a good chance Clinton's delegates would stage a convention walkout. And the Florida and Michigan Democrat parties would fight tooth and nail to have their delegates fully seated as voted so Obama would just have to grab as much of the uncommitted as he could.

Are you saying that NC will go Obama?

When the numbers get posted, I'll post.  But based on the one internal, it looks like a fairly strong Obama day.

Great, of all places to poll last, they choose New Jersey.

(along with all of the swing states, I know, but they never polled North Dakota)
