Was happy to see the poll until I realized this same polling outfit had Clinton winning Pennsylvania 46% to 39% in October 2016. I hope they are more accurate this time. Granted the reopening of Clinton email case probably played into the final result.

Even if nothing else was different between 2016 and 2020, if Biden gets 2% more support than Clinton got he wins. And he is up 2% more in this poll than Hillary was against Trump in 2016's poll, so there you go.

2020 does seem less "noisy" than 2016, which makes a lot of sense. For reference:

vs.

I do think that there should be a big push to win in AZ, as a win there could allow for a win without PA (not that PA shouldn't be fought for hard!).

This is bigger than any national poll. Of the three states we need to get back, PA has lagged behind WI and MI.

in all the recent PA polls including the F&M Poll (formerly Keystone Poll) which has shown a remarkably stable race.
