WASHINGTON, Pa. — Hillary Clinton isn’t banking on winning pockets of Pennsylvania and Ohio packed with the sort of white, working class voters flocking to Republican Donald Trump. She just wants to avoid a wipeout.

White, Working-Class Voters Vex Clinton

When even the NYT is piling on Hillary, stuff just got "real" IMHO.

She's doing well in PA per the article. Different areas within PA have different types of voters. Some rural white working class areas lean Trump while cities and suburbs lean Clinton. This is nothing new.

Not sure how this could be good news for Trump when he's down 8 points in the newest PA poll. Hillary is trying to increase her PA lead by going after the rural PA areas that are heavy Trump areas. This is a good strategy for Clinton.

Per the article:

A new Muhlenberg College/Morning Call poll found Mrs. Clinton with a nine-point lead among likely Pennsylvania voters in a head-to-head matchup with Mr. Trump, and an eight-point lead when third-party candidates are included.

LOL, you got that one as per living in the state. The suburbs and country area's are supporting Trump. The urban areas are supporting Hillary that's not a surprise.

If you can vote for Hillary after 8 years of Obama there's no helping you.

I live in the Pittsburgh area, and I can tell you that some of the suburbs surrounding the city are likely to go for Trump.

Hillary will win the city of Pittsburgh, and Philly, which will give her a pretty good chance to win the state.

I have some doubts that Hillary is up by 8, I think PA could be pretty close this year.

Hillary is also doing well in the Philly suburbs. The cities and suburbs have a much larger population that the rural areas. This is why Hillary is so far ahead in PA. The college educated voters of those suburbs are favoring Clinton and there are lots of them.

In pivotal Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton is outdueling Donald Trump - Chicago Tribune

Turnout for HRC will be like it was for Gore, not Obama. Her high negatives preclude expecting a good turnout.

It's well known that Trump has a lead among whites without a college education, particularly males. That's been true for a while now as that is his base of support.
