After debate, Clinton widens lead over Trump in Pa

[modrepub]

Democrat Hillary Clinton increased her lead among likely voters in Pennsylvania after the first presidential debate, according to a new Franklin and Marshall College Poll.

Clinton led Republican nominee Donald Trump by nine percentage points, 47 percent to 38 percent, among registered voters who said they were sure they would vote Nov. 8, the poll released Tuesday showed. Her lead was wider among registered voters, 48 percent to 36 percent.

At the end of September, by comparison, the Real Clear Politics average of public polls showed Clinton leading by just under two percentage points among likely voters.

"The big takeaway is pretty simple: Donald Trump has had the worst week of his campaign," pollster G. Terry Madonna said.

Tuesday's poll found Democrat Katie McGinty with a six-point lead over Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, 41 percent to 35 percent, among likely voters, although 22 percent are undecided.

2. It's Just a Safety Issue

We're out in the hinterlands and my neighbor who is a staunch Democrat has no signs on her lawn this year, which is highly unusual since she typically has them out for every election (even locals). I'm sure it's because they're not worth the trouble of having them stolen or becoming a target for having your house egged or your car vandalized. Sad state of affairs these days.
