- Among Trump voters who support him because they “care about an issue,” 45% say the top issue facing Pennsylvania is the economy, and 24% immigration.
With third-party candidates included on the ballot, 44% support Trump, 40% Biden, 5% Robert Kennedy Jr., and 1% support Cornel West and Jill Stein respectively. Eight percent are undecided.
The economy is the top issue for 36% of voters, followed by crime (12%), immigration (11%), threats to democracy (11%), healthcare (9%), education (7%), housing affordability (6%), and abortion access (4%).
In a potential U.S. Senate matchup between incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey and Republican Dave McCormick, 45% support Casey, and 41% McCormick. Fourteen percent are undecided. When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, Casey’s overall support increases to 52%, and McCormick to 48%.
According to recent poll results from Emerson College in Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump is currently leading former Vice President Joe Biden by 4%. The poll, conducted among likely voters in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, shows Trump with 50% support compared to Biden’s 46%.
This latest poll is significant as Pennsylvania is considered a crucial swing state in the upcoming presidential election. With its 20 electoral votes, winning Pennsylvania could be a deciding factor in determining the outcome of the election.
The results of the Emerson PA poll come as a surprise to some, as Biden has been leading in most national polls in recent months. However, it is important to note that polls are just a snapshot in time and can fluctuate leading up to Election Day.
It is also worth mentioning that Pennsylvania was a key state that Trump won in the 2016 election, helping him secure the presidency. His current lead in the polls indicates that he still has strong support in the state, particularly among certain demographics.
The Emerson poll also revealed that Trump has a slight edge over Biden when it comes to handling the economy, which has been a key issue for many voters. Additionally, Trump’s law and order message seems to be resonating with some Pennsylvanians, particularly in light of recent protests and civil unrest.
However, it is important to remember that polls are not always accurate and can be influenced by a variety of factors. It is still early in the election season and there is plenty of time for the political landscape to shift.
As the November election approaches, both candidates will continue to campaign heavily in Pennsylvania and other battleground states in an effort to secure victory. The Emerson poll results are just one piece of the puzzle in what promises to be a closely contested race for the White House.
