With 28 days till the election, Pennsylvania is looking further and further out of reach for President Donald Trump. Joe Biden is ahead by 12 percentage points among registered voters here, according to a new survey of the critical battleground state
put Biden in first 51-44. Recent polls by FOX News and ABC News/Washington Post have painted a similar picture.
That’s a shift from early September, when Biden led Trump by only 3.2 points in Pennsylvania in polling averages over Labor Day weekend — down from a high of about 8 points in July. Instead of tightening as it did then, the race now appears to be shifting further in Biden’s direction in public surveys.
“The key here is swing voters in places that were pretty close four years ago. What we’re seeing is that Biden is picking up among a group of voters that either sat out in 2016 or really are just not tied to a strong partisan identity. He’s got some momentum there with them. They’re looking at pocketbook issues,” he said. “[That’s] combined with what appears to be a solidifying of the Democratic base, particularly African American voters.
“The polls are just so wrong, and they’re never going to get them right because they don’t know why they got them wrong in the first place,” said former Rep. Lou Barletta, an early supporter of Trump’s in 2016.
