Public Opinion Strategies for Phil English (10/22-23, likely voters, no trendlines):
Kathy Dahlkemper (D): 45
Phil English (R-inc): 47
(MoE: ±5%)
You know the sail barge is listing badly over the pit of the Sarlacc when your own internal shows you up two and under 50. I’d love to see the trendlines on this sucker – I’m sure this isn’t the first poll POS has done for Philly. But it may very well be the last.
Hayes, Porter, English…. IIRC, 3 POS polls showing them all up just two points. Hmmm…. Hahaha
I look at this race as an insurance policy against the GOP taking a majority in the PA delegation. If Dahlkemper wins, and both Kanjorski and Murtha go down to defeat, it’s still 10D, 9R. (And I’d still give Murtha better odds at this juncture than English given the wind at our backs, and the lack of any public polls to date showing Bill Russell actually ahead).
I’d love to see an independent poll and more recent. I have this district at 48% D performance, but this election there might be some serious snapping out of the R leaning groupthink of recent years. And Phil English might not mind having more time for liaisons in the dark at regional highway stops and in public parks….
After seeing their polls, I think POS stands for piece of shit.
