BY THE NUMBERS: PENNSYVANIA (PA)

Okay - there are some pretty interesting poll numbers which came out on Thursday (at least that was when I saw them) for the state of Pennsyvania ...

Here's a breadk down as to GROUPS who favor one candidate, for the other:

(Group ... then % for Biden or Trump ...bold is for higher number)

Non-White Voters ....... 69%/27%
Rural Voters ................ 35%/60%
Suburban Women ....... 65%/33%
Voters Under 35 Yrs..... 56%/42%
Whites With/Degree ......56%/41%
White men w/o Degree .. 31%/65%
White Evangelicals .........22%/74%
Conservatives .................17%/80%
Independants .................. 38%/46%

I find it interesting how they have split the groups up ... they do not always have a corresponding opposite ...

Such as "Non-Whaite" ... this does two things ...
1)its s ummation of a lot of different groups ... which groups are they including? What about people of mixed racial heritage, do you coulnt them? 
2)It sets up the nation as a "Us against Them" look at things ... and the hope of my generation (the Tweens - not quite Baby Boomers, not quite Gen X) we strived to have a racially neutral society - where people wouldn't be put into these types of boxes.

Degrees .... why are only white people with or without degrees being polled? and for "no Degree" why were only white men mentioned, I'm going to guess there's an awful lott of women who don't have degrees as well?  And are you talking ANY type of degree (such as an Associates or Bachelor's Degree) or are you talking only the higher degrees (Masters or Doctorates)?

Personally -- I think the reason that Mr. Trump is doing better with the non-degree group is because - if Biden's push comes to light - THEY will be PAYING for OTHER PEOPLE to get a degree!!!

The one that really slays me - and they do it on the news all the time -- they group ALL women in with the "suburban women" ... I'm sorry ... NO
Women who live in the Suburbs do NOT speak for those living in a tenament city ... or those living in the country ... or those living in a Big city ... or those living in the mountains ...

Just like "abortion" is not the only only Woman's Health Issue facing us today ... nor is it IVF - in fact, laws which will force Insurance companies to pay for this should be struck down ... You don't go into IVF hoping your insurance will pay for it - you're not talking a single baby in most instances, you are talking about PURPOSEFULLY having several babies at one time ...
OCTOMOM ... that's all I'm going to say. (I'm sure she loves all there kids, but she never thought about how much raising that many kids was going to cost her)

I just think when they "cherry pick" the polling data in such a way, that it makes it very deceptive.
