Clinton Dominates in Key Philadelphia Suburbs, Bloomberg Poll Finds
Losing Pennsylvania’s 20 Electoral College votes would sharply curtail Trump’s paths to the White House.

Hillary Clinton holds a commanding 9-point lead on Donald Trump in the critical state of Pennsylvania and is trouncing him in the Philadelphia suburbs, where more than 80 percent of voters say they’re bothered by the 2005 video of the Republican nominee bragging about groping women.

Clinton has 51 percent to Trump’s 42 percent in a two-way race statewide, with her margin swelling to 28 percentage points in four suburban counties that were once reliably Republican, according to a Bloomberg Politics poll conducted Friday through Tuesday after the video’s release.

“Hillary Clinton’s strength in the Philadelphia suburbs may clinch the state for her,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, who oversaw the survey. “It’s possible she will carry McGinty to a win over Toomey in the U.S. Senate race.”

1. Good percentages for Clinton-Kaine, and

let's have voters there toss Toomey overboard as well.

I hope her coattails are long

3. Sounds pretty darn good to me. Make

it so, voters. And yes -- the longer those coattails, the better.

4. I live in the Philly burbs....

Article seems on the mark to me.

I think people here are embarrassed to say so, even if they favor Trump. I just never hear anyone say that anymore.
There are a few yard signs.

5. Rendell said

awhile back on MSNBC that other pols who had won in Pennsylvania got something like a 10 pt or less margin in the Philly burbs. So, Clinton's 28 pt lead there is pretty amazing.
