Vice President Harris is leading former President Trump in the swing state of Pennsylvania, according to a new Spotlight PA/MassINC poll.
Harris is winning 49 percent support in the poll, compared to 44 percent for Trump, in the race for the Keystone State’s 19 electoral votes.
The polling results were within the margin of error at 4.0 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence, including the design effect.
Polling averages from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ show Harris with a 1.2 percentage point advantage in the state. Harris wins 49.1 percent support in the polling averages, compared to 47.9 percent for Trump.
The Spotlight PA/MassINC poll also gauged people’s responses to the prospect of lifelong Supreme Court appointments.
Forty-eight percent of those polled backed lifetime appointments, while 18 percent opposed the lifetime appointments. Talk of term limits has become a bigger part of the political debate since the conservative-leaning Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Fifty-four percent of respondents in the new poll thought that was the wrong decision, compared to 38 percent who believed it was the right one.
Voters were surveyed through a text invitation to an online survey and by telephone. Both modes used conventional registration-based sampling procedures collecting data from Sept. 12-18.
