Hillary Clinton leads among likely voters by three points in the swing state of Pennsylvania, according to a new Emerson poll.
Clinton polled ahead of Donald Trump, 46-43, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following at 7 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 2 percent.
Emerson College has not recently polled Pennsylvania voters on general election choice, but the latest poll from NBC/WSJ/Marist showed Clinton ahead by nine percent, 45-36, with Johnson at 9 percent and Stein at 3 percent among registered voters in the state.
The poll, conducted Aug. 25-28, surveyed 800 likely Pennsylvania voters through an automated survey, including only landline phone numbers. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percent.
TPM’s PollTracker Average for Pennsylvania shows Clinton leading Trump, 46.2 to 42.6.
Trump: Who says I’m down in the polls? And where in the hell is my bacon cheeseburger?
Landline ONLY, and HRC is still ahead by 3? This may be good news for John McCain, but not for DTrump.
Unless I’m reading the language wrong. Not exactly crystal clear, that sentence.
Is this poll valid? I hope not. Because it had Toomey up by 7.
The trend shows a stark tightening in the polls in PA. Not really good news at all.
