Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are tied in new polls of Pennsylvania voters.
A Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll found that 48% of surveyed voters favor or lean toward voting for Ms. Harris, while 48% favor or are leaning toward Mr. Trump.
This poll comes as mail-in ballots are being sent out in the swing state, and the country is less than two months away from the Nov. 5 election.
Mr. Trump has a 59% to 36% lead among male voters in Pennsylvania, while Ms. Harris holds a 59% to 38% lead among female voters. The GOP nominee has a 19-point lead among voters without a four-year college degree, and the Democratic nominee holds a 32-point lead among those with a four-year college degree.
The poll was conducted with a telephone survey of 450 likely voters from Sept. 16-19. It has a margin of error of plus or minus six percentage points.
A Marist poll also found the two presidential candidates tied in Pennsylvania, with Mr. Trump receiving 49% support, the same as Ms. Harris. The survey said 1% chose another party’s candidate, and 1% said they are undecided.
However, the Marist poll found that Mr. Trump does better than Ms. Harris among independent voters, 49% to 45%. Among those who say they will vote in-person, Mr. Trump grabs 54% of the support, while Ms. Harris sees 68% of the support form those who plan to vote by mail-in or absentee ballot.
Similarly to the Morning Call/Muhlenberg College poll, Ms. Harris leads with women, 55%, while Mr. Trump leads among men with 54%.
This poll was conducted with 1,754 adults from Sept. 12-17. The margin of error is 2.9 percentage points.
A third poll, from Rasmussen Reports and American Thinker, shows both Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump grabbed 48% support from likely voters.
However, when those who “lean” toward a candidate are added to the mix, Ms. Harris leads by one point in Pennsylvania.
This poll of 1,202 Pennsylvania likely voters was conducted from Sept. 19-22. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points.
