President Biden polled ahead of former President Trump in Pennsylvania, a pivotal battleground state the president won in 2020, according to a survey released Wednesday.
The new poll from Quinnipiac University found Biden received 49 percent support and that Trump received 46 percent support from voters in the swing state.
The 3-point lead over Trump comes after the former president received 47 percent support and Biden received 45 percent support in Pennsylvania in a Quinnipiac University poll in October. In a Franklin & Marshall College poll of Pennsylvania voters that same month, however, Biden beat Trump by 2 points, with 44 percent saying they favored the president compared with 42 percent for Trump.

I never want to hear the phrase “Biden tops Trump” in my life ever again. Thanks for that mental image… 🤮
You know Trump is a bratty bottom.
With all the school board elections this year, a lot of the suburan “fascism could never happen here” non-regular voters got a bit of a wake up call in my part of the state with our MAGA/Q-anon officials we’ve had to deal with the last few years. A few hardcore Rs I know also seem to be tired of being embarrassed on the national stage and are either leaning Biden or sitting this one out.
All anecdotal of course, but that’s been my take away from living in a Republican leaning county outside Philadelphia that’s been in the news way too much the last few years for local political shenanigans.
Bucks? Montgomery?
You got it, I’m in Bucks.
Hopefully you’re right that people who may not typically vote will come out this time to make sure Trump doesn’t take PA…
I really hope so too. We really need the numbers to cut through the BS from much of the rest of the state. From the crushing defeat of the Pennridge and Central Bucks school boards, I hope that momentum can carry on until November. I dont feel I see near as much Trump litter driving around as there used to be. Not as many houses and yards plastered with it or trucks with Trump flags and all that.
Even after he’s gone though, what’s in people’s minds isn’t going to clear up in the near future. While I’ve talked to a few R voters who are tired of it, I still know others slipping deeper down in it. They would have voted R either way, but the ones I can still handle talking to are getting fewer, including a few extended family, sadly. I’m worried 2 are slipping into Q territory. It’s really sad what this can do to some people for the benefits of a few con artists.
Drumph is such a bottom.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The 3-point lead over Trump comes after the former president received 47 percent support and Biden received 45 percent support in Pennsylvania in a Quinnipiac University poll in October.
In a Franklin & Marshall College poll of Pennsylvania voters that same month, however, Biden beat Trump by 2 points, with 44 percent saying they favored the president compared with 42 percent for Trump.
Biden is set to travel to Pennsylvania on Friday and visit the Allentown area for a speech on his economic agenda.
Meanwhile, Green Party candidate Jill Stein received 4 percent support, and independent candidate Cornel West received 2 percent support.
Nationally, the aggregation of polls kept by Decision Desk HQ and The Hill shows Trump with a lead of 1.2 percentage points over Biden.
Quinnipiac surveyed 1,680 Pennsylvania voters Jan. 4-8 with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.
The original article contains 323 words, the summary contains 142 words. Saved 56%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
So now everyone here is believing the polls? I thought it was too early.
