I'm thinking RAS repolled it because of the black sample that he got last time and wanted to have a "better" poll be his last one(who knows which one will be closer to the actual result).

[Boris]

Anymore Rassy polls to be released today, Branson?

How much of the black vote is Obama getting in this one?

I don't believe this is the last Ras PA poll.

[J. J.]

It's still a decline from last week.

[Lief 🗽]

At this rate, Obama will be back into the double digits by election day.

For the record the last Ras poll for Pennsylvania in 2004 was 49-47 to Kerry

Two points off Bush in 2000; Bush got 8%.  It's not too much better.  The key will be the turnout.

Didn't Bush get 16% or 18% in 2004?

I believe he had something like that in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
