Harris, Trump tied in key swing state: Poll

Vice President Harris and former President Trump are tied in Pennsylvania, a key swing state, with less than 7 days before Election Day, according to a new poll released on Tuesday.

The new survey from CBS News/YouGov found the U.S. presidential candidates were tied at 49 percent among voters in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground that carries 19 Electoral College votes.

The economy was the top issue for likely Keystone State voters (81 percent), followed by inflation (74 percent), and the state of democracy (73 percent), according to the survey.

More registered voters think things were going “well” during Trump’s time in office (54 percent) compared to today (27 percent).

Around 46 percent of registered voters in the state said that Trump’s policies will make them better off financially, some 20 points higher than those that picked Harris (26 percent), according to the poll. More registered Pennsylvania voters said that Trump’s policies would make America’s democracy “weaker” (47 percent), as opposed to Harris’s 42 percent.

Around 55 percent of the Keystone State’s registered voters said that Trump’s positions are generally “extreme,” some 7 points higher than the 48 percent who picked the vice president, according to the survey. Additionally, more of the state’s residents prefer the way Harris handles herself personally than the former president.

A recent Franklin & Marshall poll of Pennsylvania voters had Trump beating Harris by 1 point, 50 percent to 49 percent, among likely voters. Harris was up by 4 points, 48 percent to 44 percent, among registered voters in the state.

Trump has a 0.4 percent lead, 48.5 percent to 48.1 percent, in Pennsylvania, according to the latest The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s tally of polls in the Keystone State.

The CBS News/YouGov poll was conducted Oct. 22-28 among 1,273 registered voters. The margin of error was 3.6 points.
