Siena Poll finds Pa. up for grabs in prez race
Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Politics Writer
Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes seem up for grabs in a new Siena Research Institute Poll that shows a tight race, with President Obama leading Republican Mitt Romney 43 percent to 40 percent.
The Siena College survey finds 12 percnet of the state's voters undecided. It shows Romeny winning in the Philadelphia suburbs. "With a month and two more debates to go, Pennsylvania's direction on the road to the White House remains in doubt," said Don Levy, the poll director.
Obama is viewed favorably by 49 percent of the voters, to 44 percent who view the president unfavorably, while Romney's ratio is 40 percent favorable to 49 percent unfavorable, the poll finds.
Results are based on interviews with 545 likely voters between Oct. 1 and Oct. 5, and results are subject to a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.
Obummer's plan for the next four years..hmmm let me see,,where can I buy votes
1. I got 1.7 million additional voters when I used my executive privilege to grant citizenship to illegal immigrants recently..check
2. All college age women will get free contraceptives..let the boys buy their own trojans...that should be good for 8 million votes..check
3. I have another 12 million illegal immmigrants on the sidelines waiting for amnesty
4. I plan on suing every state which has a republican governor..that should keep holder busy
5. Free $$ if you are a black farmer or wish you were one
6. Reparations $$$$ if you are asian, black, mexican or non-white..free money as I raid the treasury ione last time— blombard- 7. Give in to Russia on any nuclear disarm agreement they want ( I will be in a better position after I win election)..yea right
8. FREE abortions for all women if you don't get your FREE contraceptives and the guys dont buy the trojans
9. I love gay marriage because it just got me another 15 million votes.
10. My economic plan..ahhhh i might hmmmm
11.My Iran plan...ahhhh i might hmmmm
12. My debpt plan ahhhh i might hmmmm
13.My job plan ahhhh i might hmmmm
14. My border control plan..ahhhh i might hmmmm...sue Arizona again
15. Make eva Longoria our new Immigrations Czar, Sandra Fluke sex Czar— blombard - Funny how the media is hyping this poll but ignoring the fact that Rmoney has shut down in PA and moved his people to Ohio (to better steal that state's electoral votes).
Now, why would the media hype one story and ignore another?
Could it be to spread the "race is tightening"propaganda in order to keep selling ads?— JeffJenk - Laaaaaaaaaaaandsliiiiiiiiiiiiide!— Mr. Underhill
- I've said all along that Obama wins by double digits. Landslide, I agree. Enjoy your little bump, but when America wakes up with a hangover and sees Mitt the Twit lying beside them, you can bet they'll have second thoughts.
- The party's over!— Mr. Underhill

- Buried by the RepubliCons. You hardly have the candidate to be calling out our side for gaffs. Romney sets the record.
- Paging Terry Madona at F&M; time for another one of those PA polls showing an "unbiased" 10 point lead for Obama to quell the anxiety of libs everywhere.— camtheman
- WARNING. WARNING: Just watch the republican sleazy acts on 11/6/12. They will try every dirty nazi trick in the book to usurp votes from Obama and give them to Romney. Watch particularly in Florida and Ohio.— CommonSense in Philly
- If I were a pro-life sort who'd donated to Romney, I'd want my money back. Romney stabbed the anti-abortion crowd right in the back. He just used them to win the nomination, now they can be discarded.— Jeff West
- Give us the area codes for the 545 citizens they called! Since the middle of the state(3area codes) is mostly GOP and around Philly/Pitts Dems, which did they call??? The numbers can be anything you wish based on where they called.— gibby58
- ok, I'm wrong.
