If Trump loses PA, it's over for him.

Ouch and Quinnipiac has had a GOP lean this cycle.

PA is clearly gone.  FL seems oddly competitive, but then again, this is Q-poll, so probably still a bit Trump friendly.

If Q is confirming Trump down by about 10 in PA, I don't see any way that he wins.

For Context
FL: Clinton 46 – Trump 45 - Was Clinton 39 – Trump 42 (4 pt swing)
OH: Clinton 49 – Trump 45 - Was Clinton 41 – Trump 41 (4 pt swing)
PA: Clinton 52 – Trump 42 - Was Clinton 41 - Trump 43 (12 pt swing)

Clinton should actually leading in Florida by wider margins.

this is Quinnipiac's first survey using a likely voter model in these states. Past were all registered voters

Wow.
These numbers look good.
I was hoping for a bigger +Clinton number for FL, but that's fine.
She should spend more time and resources in Florida, though.

PS: Penn is looking more and more out-of-reach, for our orange-haired clown.

Here the numbers with Johnson and Stein

PA
Clinton (D) 48% (+9)
Trump (R) 39%
Johnson (L) 7%
Stein (G) 3%

OH
Clinton (D) 44% (+2)
Trump (R) 42%
Johnson (L) 8%
Stein (G) 3%

FL
Clinton (D) 43% (Tie)
Trump (R) 43%
Johnson (L) 7%
Stein (G) 3%

I wonder if that helps or hurts her... this year, LV screen has been unusually pro-Dem.

Q is in the field for 2 weeks, right? FL was probably close (or lean Trump) according to their methodology around the conventions, whereas some polls showed Clinton with a clear lead in PA even before the conventions began, hence the clear lead there if Q also picked up on that.

Can we see some crosstabs, specifically Florida

Ironically, the race tabs in FL look right, but they are over-sampling whites in both OH and PA by a few points compared to 2012. Of course, in all 3 states, they still estimate the electorate to be AT LEAST as white as 2012... none of these samples has oversampled minorities.

Well, they finally have Pennsylvania to the left of Ohio, which is good.

Anyway, the PA and FL polls match what other pollsters have found in these states.  Even if the Florida results doesn't make sense given what we've seen in Georgia...  Whatever, I'll buy it.

But angry trend R WCWs in Scranton and Southwest Pennsylvania hate the old hag, junk poll! Pennsylvania IS in play.

(That was my Seriously? moment).

Non-troll post: Another beautiful set of polls considering how Quinnipiac has been one of her worst pollsters out there. I think she's up by more in Florida, but if she's up by 10 in PA, this election is in the bag.

I would say Donnie has to move on from PA but he has nowhere else to move on to. He is toast.

Florida is a mess to poll with all the Latino and transplants with cell only. I think Clinton is likely up 6-8 if GA is in play.

Yeah, Q has been junk all cycle in states with high minorities (specifically Hispanics). They regularly were the most competitive for Sanders.

Yet overall these numbers are pretty good. I'll take a Clinton +1 in FL any day and that PA number is beautiful.

Q has Clinton ahead in all three states? That's a shock. Also the path for Trump is almost nonexistent without any of PA, CO or VA. That puts Clinton at 269

That's the catch. He doesn't have one.

But just stop it...

This survey uses statistical weighting procedures to account for deviations in the survey
sample from known population characteristics, which helps correct for differential survey
participation and random variation in samples. The overall adult sample is weighted to
recent Census or American Community Survey data using a sample balancing procedure to
match the demographic makeup of the population by county, gender, age, education and
race. Margins of sampling error for this survey are not adjusted for design effect.

Stop what? I am just pointing out that these polls are NOT oversampling minorities.

The most beautiful about this poll is that very few Trump supporters actually, well, support Trump. I mean, granted, it's a similar situation for Clinton, but the numbers are GIGANTIC on the Trump side (26-61 in OH).

His only alternative requires NH, which may have just experienced the apocalyptic PA/VA/GA swing.

Ugh, god Quinnijunk is so terrible. They had PA swing from being massively more Republican than the other two to now massively more Democratic than the other two for no reason. ::)

Never seen such an inoffensive post trigger such a sassy meltdown.

Tough to watch!!!!

Ugh, god Quinnijunk is so terrible. They had PA swing from being massively more Republican than the other two to now massively more Democratic than the other two for no reason. ::)

The most interesting thing to me about these polls is the really low undecideds in the H2Hs. Guess QU really pushed this time.


I guess that's what happens when you stop weighting party ID to be equal in Pennsylvania. That apparently was their gameplan for the past few polls there.
