Clinton Swamps Trump In Latest F&M PA Poll (11-point margin)
The new Franklin and Marshall College Poll shows Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump among likely Pennsylvania voters by an 11-point margin, 49-percent to 38-percent. Clinton’s lead among all registered voters is 13-points.
F&M Poll Director Terry Madonna says Clinton has benefited from a convention bounce and from missteps by Trump, including the controversy over his reaction to remarks by the Muslim parents of a slain American soldier that has not subside:
“In fact, it only grew in importance throughout the weekend when the Franklin and Marshall College Poll was in the field.”
In the race for US Senate, the F&M Poll shows Democrat Katie McGinty leading by one percentage point over Republican incumbent Pat Toomey among likely voters, and by eight points among all registered voters.

Have been hearing this on the radio this a.m. here.
My concern is not necessarily with Clinton since PA has not gone for a GOP Presidential candidate since 1988. It is McGinty who I am concerned about and any ability of her to kick Toomey to the curb. Unless Philadelphians vote a straight D ticket to get a vote in for her, that race will be close. Toomey has declined to endorse Trump so all one needs to do is tie the Trump albatross around his neck and that will send the many moderate GOPers here scrambling for the exits (like they abandoned Corbett).
