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 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.
The Hill’s polling is tracking a 1.2 percent advantage for Harris in the state. Harris wins 49.1 percent support in the polling average, compared to 47.9 percent for Trump.
The Spotlight PA/MassINC poll also gauged people’s responses to life-long 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 the Roe v. Wade ruling.
Fifty-four percent 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 in addition to telephone interviewers calls. Both modes used conventional registration-based sampling procedures collecting data from Sept. 12-18.
