A recent public opinion poll conducted by Monmouth University in Pennsylvania shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Trump in the battleground state. According to the survey of registered voters, 48% expressed support for Harris, while 45% favored Trump. Harris also holds a four-point advantage over Trump among highly motivated voters.
Pennsylvania, with its 19 electoral votes, played a crucial role in President Biden's 2020 victory and is expected to be a key battleground in the upcoming election. Both candidates have been actively campaigning in the state, with significant resources being allocated to Pennsylvania by their campaigns and super PACs.
The poll results come ahead of Harris' scheduled speech on the economy in Pittsburgh, where she plans to outline her pragmatic approach and offer practical solutions. Trump, on the other hand, recently delivered an economic speech in Georgia, focusing on tax cuts for U.S.-based manufacturers.
Economic issues remain a top concern for voters, with various polls showing differing margins between Trump and Harris on handling the economy. While Trump currently leads Harris by three points in Pennsylvania on economic matters, the vice president is set to unveil new manufacturing proposals and emphasize her vision for American innovation and entrepreneurship.
Harris is expected to criticize Trump's economic policies, accusing him of favoring the wealthy over the middle class. In response, the Trump campaign has criticized Harris' economic plans, warning of potential dangers if she were to assume office.
With less than six weeks until Election Day and early voting already underway in many states, the economy continues to be a central issue for voters as the nation navigates its recovery from the pandemic-induced recession.
