A recent poll conducted by Emerson College in Pennsylvania has revealed that President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris are tied at 48% among likely voters in the state. This news comes as a surprise to many political analysts, as Pennsylvania is considered a crucial battleground state in the upcoming presidential election.
The poll, which surveyed 800 likely voters in Pennsylvania, shows a tight race between Trump and Harris. The margin of error for the poll is +/- 3.4 percentage points, meaning that the race is essentially a dead heat at this point.
This latest poll is significant because Pennsylvania is a key swing state that could determine the outcome of the election. Trump won the state by a narrow margin in 2016, and both campaigns have been heavily focused on winning over voters in Pennsylvania this year.
The poll also highlights the importance of voter turnout in Pennsylvania. With the race so close, every vote will count in determining the outcome of the election. Both campaigns will likely be ramping up their efforts to mobilize supporters and get out the vote in the coming weeks.
Overall, the Emerson poll shows that the race in Pennsylvania is shaping up to be a close and competitive one. With Trump and Harris tied at 48%, it’s anyone’s guess as to who will come out on top in this crucial battleground state on Election Day.
