Clinton crushing Sanders in Pennsylvania
By Jonathan Easley
Hillary Clinton has a huge lead over Bernie Sanders in Pennsylvania just three weeks before the primary there.
A Harper Polling survey released Tuesday found Clinton taking 55 percent over Sanders at 33 percent, with 12 percent undecided.
......................
There are 210 delegates up for grabs in Pennsylvania's April 26 primary. Sanders trails Clinton by about 300 delegates overall currently, and needs to start posting victories by wide margins if hes going to catch her.
In the race to be the Democratic nominee to challenge incumbent Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) is in the lead with 41 percent support, following by former gubernatorial chief of staff Katie McGinty (D) at 31 percent..............
Congratulations to Hillary and Her Team

(18,115 posts)Bernie will close in there just like everywhere else.

(10,476 posts)No meddling this time around.
morningfog
(18,115 posts)There is no meddling. Just Hillary losing.
And bookmark it. Hillary will not win by 20 in PA. It will tighten as it consistently does.

(4,959 posts)So she's lost 2 points and he's gained 6. Fwiw.
Dunno what will happen in the next 3 weeks, but it is likely it will get much closer given how things have gone so far.
DCBob
(24,689 posts)Hillary always wins with Democrats.
morningfog
(18,115 posts)I know Hillary's peeps are hanging their hat on that, but it will tighten, I guarantee it.

(18,115 posts)She will not win PA by 20.
DCBob
(24,689 posts)That wont happen. In fact he is likely to get trounced.
morningfog
(18,115 posts)Like I've been saying, if he can maintain, he's viable until June 7 delegate rich day.
DCBob
(24,689 posts)Gotta go. Cheers.
Tarc
(10,476 posts)The deal can be sealed.

(24,853 posts)I feel like I'm being told the bathroom I'm standing in can actually be listed as a bedroom and I need to hurry up and make an offer on the house because there's someone else in the wings, and the real estate agent wants to "close the deal".

(1,681 posts)Lifelong republican. Switched to be a Democrat just to vote for Bernie. PA is a ways away, its going to be a much closer race by then.

(10,130 posts)has Clinton +6 as of April 6th in a state Sanders hasn't campaigned in
http://www.quinnipiac.edu/images/polling/pa/pa04062016_Pfgr37w.pdf
When Sanders starts campaigning and more people start finding out who he is and what he stands for, Hillary's numbers always tumble. No Clinton lead is safe but one that small is very vulnerable.
If Hillary is only really+6 now, like Quinnipiac says, she's probably not going to win the state.
PA has a lower black population 11% (the blacks have basically carried Hillary) and folks in PA are not going to be happy with Hillary's support and flip-flops on free trade.
DE and MD have higher black populations that will present tougher challenges for Bernie. And DE is the US's version of Panama or BVI so that probably won't help Bernie.
