Clinton up big in PA, says new F&M College Poll

A new Franklin & Marshall College poll suggests that Pennsylvania is slipping from Republican Donald Trump’s grasp in the last week of the presidential campaign, with Democrat Hillary Clinton opening up an 11-point lead among likely voters.

Clinton has the support of 49 percent of those who say they are certain to vote, to 38 percent for Trump, according to the survey released Tuesday. The remainder were undecided or planning to support a third-party candidate.

“This state was always going to be an uphill fight for Trump to win,” said F&M polling director G. Terry Madonna. “Pennsylvania is simply trending more Democratic than the other big swing states.”

In Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race, the poll finds Democrat Katie McGinty with a 47 percent to 35 percent lead over Republican incumbent Sen. Pat Toomey among likely voters. Her 12-point advantage is larger than in previous F&M polls and also bigger than the average of recent Senate race polls in the state.

F&M seem to think this is an outlier result although given the amount of attack ads on McGinty here in western PA, maybe it's not.
