A newly released Insider Advantage poll reveals President Donald Trump narrowly leading Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state that could decide the 2024 election. The poll, conducted between August 18 and 19, shows Trump leading Harris by just one point, 47% to 46%, with a margin of error of ±3.5%.
Pennsylvania, with its 19 electoral votes, is a critical state that both campaigns are fighting hard to win. Trump carried the state in 2016 but lost it in 2020, making it a must-win for both parties this year. The tight polling underscores just how close the race will be as November approaches.
Trump’s campaign is seizing on Harris’s record as vice president, particularly her handling of economic and energy issues, which they argue have harmed working families. “The Trump campaign is going full bore against the Kamala campaign and highlighting all the disastrous policies she implemented for the last four years,” a campaign official told Breitbart News.
As part of their push, Trump and his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) are making several stops in Pennsylvania this week. Trump is scheduled to tour a factory in York, while Vance will visit a facility in Philadelphia, both aiming to connect with blue-collar voters who feel left behind by Democratic policies.
The poll results arrive at a crucial time, as the Democratic National Convention kicks off and the general election campaign enters its final phase. With the race so close in Pennsylvania, every voter could make the difference in this highly contested state.
