Hillary Clinton comes out 11 points ahead of Donald Trump in the midst of the FBI’s announcement about Clinton’s emails, in a new Pennsylvania poll from Franklin & Marshall University.
Clinton leads the poll of likely voters, 49-38, with Libertarian Gary Johnson polling at 4 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent.
The former Secretary of State expanded her lead by a two points since Franklin & Marshall last polled the state in September, when Clinton led 47-38.
However her lead in the latest Franklin & Marshall poll is larger than recent Pennsylvania polls, which show a slightly closer race.
A Siena College/New York Times Upshot poll released last week showed Clinton +7, while a Muhlenberg College/Morning Call poll released over the weekend showed her +6.
The Franklin & Marshall poll was conducted Oct. 26-30 over the phone and online among 652 likely Pennsylvania voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5.1 percent.
TPM’s PollTracker Average for the general election in Pennsylvania shows Clinton leading Trump, 47.1 to 41.9.
BBBBBBBbbbbbbbuuuuuutttttttttt… The Yam is up by a point in the Poll This _ Fuckers’ click-bait poll on the other thread!
Freak out!
#I’m with her!
I know I’m stating the obvious but as a Democrat I want Hillary Clinton as President, but we need a Democratic Senate.We require a Comey resignation.
Dont you worry, that poll is gonna get worked over by the media more than a Thai Ladyboy during shore leave
Oh please let this be accurate. I literally had a panic attack last night. I thought I might be having a heart attack. This has been and continues to be the longest few weeks of my life.
I’ve been grateful for the level headed commenters here to talk me off of the ledge again and again and again.
Gonna need that service a few hundred more times between now and next Tuesday.
The thought of a president immediately at war with the FBI is frightening isn’t it? I don’t know what other option though. We tried it Obama’s way and this is what it got us. I’m hopeful that with her experience and complete lack of naïveté Hillary can clean house quickly.
