Pennsylvania: First post-RNC polls shows Clinton maintaining +9% lead. [View all]

This is very good news. With the national polls get closer there is a fear that swing states will get closer. Nate Silver wrote about it this morning. Before this the last Penn poll was from 2 weeks ago. National polls normally show the race tightening first and state polling lags behind. But this is showing Pennsylvania looking more solidly blue.

Also Toomey is losing by 7%: Toomey 36, McGinty 43
