Presidential election poll in SW Pennsylvania...happily shocking...

[Freedomofspeech]

This area went for MF45 in 2016. The newspaper poll asked: If the Presidential election were held today who would you vote for?
Trump 36%
The Democratic Party Candidate 49%
Third party candidate 4%
Not sure 8%
I would not vote 3%

Based on 266,844 responses

1. Based on 266844 responses? That sounds like an online poll. What kind of poll was this?

Greensburg Tribune Review....it is the largest paper that Richard Mellon Scaife bought that helped turn our area red.

3. Quite the surprise......

but I will admit that I'm not seeing as many BunkerBoy for 2020 signs compared to 2016 - and that should have served as a clue.......

12. I was riding with a 21 year old a few weeks ago as we drove past this ranch with a huge sign

saying "all democrats are socialists - vote Trump".. My friend said "Nothing wrong with socialism."

7. When you take out the not-voting, it puts Biden over 50%

8. Nobody is really "not sure" at this point

Those are the same people that said the same thing last time and then voted for Trump, as they knew all along that they would. They are just too chickenshit to admit it.

So really, it’s probably more like:
Dem party candidate 49%
Trump 44%

Way too close for comfort.

Not sure? What else is it you need to see in order to make up your mind?

10. Got a link? How old is this poll?

They don't even know who the "Democratic Party Candidate" is?

16. Trust me........

the writer would fear being struck by lightening if he even wrote Biden's name. Again, I'm honestly shocked that they even printed those numbers - I would have expected some "computer error" to throw out the survey!

11. Saw a 'Biden' yard sign yesterday--IN THE MON VALLEY!! (SW PA)

My husband and i drove out to a berry farm in the heart of the old Steel Valley in the Pittsburgh area yesterday, an area that was ferociously red in ‘16, and the sight of a ‘Biden’ sign and the absence of any for the Idiot in the Oval tells me something; this area used to be solidly pro-labor and voted Democratic but of course that’s changed. I think this might have been the first robin of spring.

14. Not far from where we live...

I am hoping the tide is turning!

17. Maybe it IS going back the other way...........

Lord knows BunkerBoy hasn't done anything for W.PA since he got in.

And welcome to DU, Bluetail!
