Lord have mercy...

I've said before, that while I believe a McCain win is not likely in PA, that it was indeed the state I have been most worried about.

This poll does nothing to comfort.

Dammit now I'm going to have to withstand a few more days of widespread gloom & doom among my liberal cohorts.

According to a friend with access to the internals Obama lost 10% among Democrats and gained 15% among Indies. Make of that as you will.

edit: i see in the public release that Obama went from 86% Democratic support to 75%. How did that happen

While McCain and Plain are regularly going there these days, Obama is remaining out of PA. This is definitely not good. He needs to go back there to stop this rot Sad .

Obama was here Tuesday and Biden was in the Phila media market yesterday.

PA will be close, as I have been saying for, oh, about five weeks.

Turnout will make the difference.  I'm expecting a heavy black turnout, and I hope to have a good guess by 3 PM.

I don't think it's a good idea to question the legitimacy of the poll...We've seen tightening in Pennsylvania in many polls, and it should be our top priority to defend the state.

If we win Pennsylvania, we win the election.

Obama numbers in last three Rasmussen polls: 54, 53, 51
McCain numbers in last three Rasmussen polls: 41, 46, 47

The statistical margin of error is 5%.

Make of that whatever you feel like. But please try to be rational. Hah. No hope there I think...

Question is what is happening there so suddenly that McCain is climbing up the lader so suddenly ? I dont see a real big game changing event there ? So how is McCain gaining the upward swing, so sudenly and so radically ?

Dow did better last week, so it swung back a bit to McCain. I think that is the most reasonable answer.

A less likely possibility but still a possibility is that PA Pumas tore off the mask (or are starting to do so). I have my doubts on this one, but the data coming from the FL and NV polls suggest otherwise about the number of Pumas. PA, being in the Mid-Atlantic, could have a greater effect, since Clinton is a Mid-Atlantic Senator, and has great appeal in the region. She did win PA in the primaries, so there are many potential Puma votes there.

LOL at all you Obama supporters saying PA was out of reach for MAC. SO Mason-Dixon and RAS say it's a 4 point race. We all know Obama underperformed by almost 3%  in the final RCP average in the primary. So right now on my map I'm shifting PA back to a pure tossup!

Can someone explain how in the hell can you have accurate polling on Halloween on  a Friday night. I'm discounting any bump for any candidate in the tracking polls today.

Ouch... who the hell polls on moving/hell night? Obviously, Obama's youth vote is not represented in this sample!
