Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, the key state among all the battleground states in the presidential election. With the polls just days away, the latest Quinnipiac poll found the Republican slightly ahead of his Democratic opponent. It also showed an increasingly close race between Bob Casey and Dave McCormick for the Senate.
The Quinnipiac poll, conducted Oct. 24-28 with a margin of error of 2.1 percentage points, confirmed the trend of recent weeks with Trump up in Pennsylvania. According to its results, the Republican leads with 47% to the Democrat's 46%. Jill Stein of the Green Party trails with 2% and Chase Oliver of the Libertarian Party has just 1% of voting intention.
Trump gained ground since the last Quinnipiac poll in early October, which had Harris winning Pennsylvania.
At the same time, the poll cites a gender gap growing, with Trump winning among men by twenty points and with Harris by just fourteen.
"The gender gap is widening with Trump increasing his lead among men as what remains a very close race heads into the home stretch," explained Tim Malloy, a Quinnipiac polling analyst.
